I think youve sold me on the 265!
The only thing is that people are saying it's impossible to fit a 10, regardless of tire. Although we have seen a few cars with 10s - there is even one running 20x10 (though I'm sure he rubs since he has zero gap).

I got the stock info from this thread:

18" Double Spoke Style 400M (M Sport wheels) - 18x8" ET34 225/45-18 front / 18x8.5" ET47 255/40-18 rear

My only explanation as to why it will work is because the stock rims are 8.5 wide, but have an incredibly deep (from the car) offset because the concavity is shallow. It allows us to bring in the offset a lot while increasing the width of the wheel without moving the part that would hit the suspension.
