WIDTH: 275 NT05 v. 265 Star Spec
First off, I know per Nitto's and Dunlop's specs a 275 NT05 is 0.09" wider than a 265 Star Spec.
I'm really looking for 1st hand experience with this comparison. Who's had both and can compare the width of the two?

Go with 265 for street driving, more than enough tire for street driving, especially with AWD, car will handle far more predictably.
However, a 275/35/18 will be close to the stock size, interms of speedometer accuracy.

I'm not sure if I want 275 or 265 with mine. I might just go crazy and stick with 275

I understand the arguments for/against the 265 v. 275. However, lots of people around here run a 265 star spec, and if a 275 NT05 is the same width, what difference does it make?
I'm really asking since I have the availability to obtain a set of 275 NT05s right away, but I'm trying to avoid rubbing. I've been waiting on a set of 265's. I'm on swift springs (0.6" rear drop) w/ 1.2* of camber. Wheels are 18x9.5 +20. People have pulled this off w/ a 265 Star Spec, so that's the nature of my question.

I'm on swifts with same rims/offset and 265 RE01Rs and I rub. I even have 2 degrees of camber in the rear. I rolled the fenders slightly and that solved the rubbing. I'm guessing you'll rub with either tire.

Would you happen to know the measured width of the re01r's in that size?
