Any over/under-steer noticed?
No rubbing at all, and i have a 1" drop in the front. But keep in mind the 265 is on a 9.5" wheel vs the 9" stock front. No over/under steer that i've noticed.

It's flush, but it's not hella flush right? lol. I just don't want it poking out from outside of the fender. As long as it's in parallel with it then that's ok

Same drop here. Looking forward to getting this setup now.

Hella flush is ridiculous.

Do you think a 275 will rub or stick out too far? I just ordered the exact same wheels and offset for the front and was debating going with a 275. I am stock height.

Definitly not. But the car will look like a 4x4 if not lowered some.

A friend of mine that has a Nismo is running RE11's on the stock Nismo rims with 285's in the front! He told me it was a noticable difference from 265's for traction at the autocross. He does autocross a lot. But as far as sticking out too far, no, they don't. But as far as looking like a 4x4, lowering would be recommended! The Swift springs is what i'd recommend for a conservative drop; that is what i used.
