Anyone using 265's on the rear of a Tuscan,t350 etc?

I've got 225/40/18 fronts and 245/40/18 rear on my Tuscan.

I really think some more rear tyre would help put the power down, read lots of wheelspin and likes to break traction. My car is as we'll set up as it could be I think but still breaks traction too much.

I think that by going 265 it would induce a bit more understeer with the 225 up front, that can easily be dialled out with some more negative camber if I feel it needs it but what's people thoughts or experiences.

Reason I thought of going 265 instead of 255 is the rolling radius is actually closer to 245 and I have a 9.5" rear wheel so they will fit. (Will have to ensure no arch rubbing but I think it's ok).

I run 255s R1Rs on the rear of my chim and there is room for an extra 10mm.

I did trim the inside of the arch tops for clearance a tad.

Did stepping to 255 make any difference to traction?

Wider, better quality tyres are like chalk and cheese.

Holy thread revival.

Nankang have a soft tyre that could be considered as a replacement for the Toyo 888. It is 265/35/18.

I am running 255 at present. Is this a 'stretch too far' for my rim?
