245 on a 9" isn't too bad, oems run 245s on an 8.5. If you don't plan to drop a 255, w/ a drop the 265s although that front fender edge not being flat-rolled may be tight under compression.
Definitely going to install the Tein Coilovers I have for it. I'm not going to "slam" it but I plan to get rid of the gap. It' looks like the lip of the wheel would tuck if I needed it to so I want as much tire as I can get for on a 20x9 without rubbing.

I'm running 9.5 +38 and the wheels' edge isn't a problem there, a wider 265 will be close to the angled fender edge under heavy compression, it may clear ok but wanted to give you a heads up as you might need to flat-roll that fender edge to get full clearance but
I said it the other day but really liking the look with the rpf1's . How high are you sitting from the floor to top of fender now?
Somewhere around 25.5 inches. I only dropped it to that height to just see how it would sit. Imo, it’s not practical to drive it that low as the LCA is almost kissing the floor and if I were to hit a dip too fast, I will smash it bad. 26 inches from floor to fender is ideal for daily. I can make it over speed bumps with little to no scrape. If it’s a fat speed bump, I will take it a bit angled. Driveways are a different story.

Gotcha and thanks for the responses. Looking at coilovers/air ride for my X and trying to do as much "research" as I can.
Way behind on looking through this sub. Just got a G37X a month ago and I've never done mods on cars before but this is the perfect car to do it on. I want a very clean look and love the way your's looks. What's the front spoiler you have? Also what exhaust are you running on this?
Finally got my wheels on. Rides great little vibration at high speeds, noticed i need hub rings. Going to Drop the front waaay more tomorrow, then alignment next week
