Use the recommended width calucator to see if those 265 will fit on the rim designed for 245.

Can you make this a sticky?
I have visited the shrine...
Done, unless Kev 'unsticks' it.
From my mentor: 'Remember, with great power, comes great responsibility' K.Cooke 2007
225/45/16 front
265/40/17 rear ( Can fit on Rim width 0f 9x17 to 10.5x17)
difference in diameter = 5.75%
Is this acceptable for the car's ABS/TCS ?
What's the standard Rim width on the 94+ rear alloys?

SS, I think the tolerances are up to 5% and within this, it won't affect the TSC and maybe the ABS? Not sure exact size of oem rears 94+? its in the driver's manual, not at home now!

TSO,
I also thought it was a 5% tolerance but there many out there with 215/45/16 front and 255/40/17rear which measures out at 5.98% with no problem?!?

That's becuase it's not how the 5% rule works.
You take the ratio of the stock front tyres to stock rear tyres, ie the 'standard ratio'.
Then with whatever tyres you get, the ratio of the new tyres has to be within 5% of the ratio of the stock tyres, ie the 'new ratio' has to be within 5% of the 'standard ratio'.
