How do the 265s fit? I'm thinking really heavily about a square 275 setup.

From the looks of it they fit well. It's a very popular setup with the RE11s on the stock rays and should be good with the PSS, which run wide.

I thought about a 275/35 square setup but don't really want to fit the widest-spec on the front and the smallest-spec on the rear. That's going to lead to some funky sidewall behavior. I'm actually running 245 square on my winter wheels (base 18x8 and 18x9s) and don't particularly like the feel... the front sidewall rolls a lot more than the rear does. 265/35 and 285/35 should have roughly the same sidewall behavior front and rear.

With the power you have I'd want to run more rear tire. 265/285 RE11s would probably be pretty good, however you might need more rear tire yet. 265/35 305/30 RE11s work fine, but you would need to work to get your balance closer to neutral (front/rear bar, alignment, etc).

I think ideally I would run a 19x10 front and 19x11 rear.
