265/35 and 295/35s here, pretty straight forward install just had to move one of my tailpipes over. My quad shocks were already removed.

i have 245/40-18s and 295/35-18s and my driver's side front tire rubs the "bulge" in the fenderwell.

Do the 265's rub much? I want to go 275/35 on all fours so I can rotate them. I had 275/40 on the front with my 17x9 cobra wheels and it held the road soo much better..
