I assume I will be safe with 235/265...

Now the long wait begins
I'm running 245/265 both 35 series (GY F1 Asy). My car is lowered quite a bit too with no rubbing issues. I went with the wider tire up front to help quell understeer (up sized 2 rather than 1 like the rear). These tires have so much grip, I'm not sure you'll need 275 rears. The coil-over adjustment ring is a bit close in the front and I thought I'd have to run a 3mm spacer, but it wasn't needed.
A 245/40 in front might have been too tall for my car though.

All - if you think you have a long wait - I was one of the first in the country to get these wheels. I waited 4 months!
