Wish I had read this an hour ago.

FML
Now I need a repainted bumper, an alignment, and smaller tires. It never ends

Damn! That really sucks man! I already knew it would not work at all.

You should ask them to pay for the damages on your bumper.

To answer the previous question, you could do what Wei suggested and run a 255 tire or go with a 265 Falken tire. Falken tire profiles allows it to stretch a bit more and so you can usually run one size bigger than what most other tires would allow.

Sorry to hear about bumper. Would definitely make them pay for it.

oh don't worry they will definitely be paying for the damages... I'm gonna go pick up some 255's tomorrow when I wake up so we should be golden.
Y'all know anyone selling some decently aggressive wheels?

Got 265's put on today. Went to a sketchy part of town and got 2 brand new Continental 265's for 400 bucks. Pretty sure they were stolen but what can ya do! Wheels look good though, looks pretty stretched. Will post more pics later

Here are some pics with the Continental 265/30/20's on the rear. Guess Continental seems to stretch quite a bit. Not really feeling it

It is a good stretch! but with the front being 245's and not having any stretch at all really. it just doesn't match... And the fronts being 245/35 and the rears 265/30 doesn't help either....
Maybe the rear needs moaaaaaaaar low???

You can always run 225-35 for your front and add a 15MM spacers to push it out some more
