Hey guys.

Can anyone confirm if 265 on 9.5 and 305 on 11 would give a straight sidewall look?

I'm pretty certain it won't be stretched but also want to confirm that it won't be the opposite (bulged). I want a flat look.

Wheels are Work Kiwami and tires I'm looking at are Advan AD08 if that makes a difference.

Depends on the tire. I've had 245/40 & 255/40 on my 9" wide Rays and looked a bit stretched. Also, I've had 275/35 & 285/35 on the rear 10" wide rays and they looked a bit stretched to me. You should be fine with those sizes. I currently have 305/30 on 10.5" and they some bulge and will be putting 265/35 on 9" front to match the rear (slight buldge). All were Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.

Hey guys was hoping you could help
I got a mate selling a set of 255 40 19 pilot super sport tyres cheap.
I've got a 2014 Nismo which runs 245 40 19 on the OEM rays wheels as standard. It's Lowered with kW v3 coilovers and spacers also Eibach camber kit. Can I run this wider tyre on the front? how much difference would it actually make?

You should have no problem. Many of us run 265 30 with 15 or 20mm spacers.

He is planning on Work Kiwami rims. 265's and 305's won't bulge. There isn't really a noticeable bulge on a stock SP rim

Thanks for all the info guys.

That pic with 305 on 10.5 isn't all that bulgy I think I'll be good.

Even if it bulges a bit on 11s cuz AD08s are thick, i'll be good, since I'll get an even 26.3 diameter front and back.

Correct, which further proves the point that 305 is too wide of a tire. If the PS2 is super wide, then you can imagine how the AD08 which is even wider would look.
