Should roughly be the same. 5mm = .5 in

Incorrect 5mm is not .5 inch, 1 inch=25.4mm.

i used MongolKhan's picture as reference, but our
rears are a little different that is why i'm asking.
On the rear, the wheel will sit 6mm farther out than Mongols setup and 6mm closer to your suspension on the inside (not that it matters in this case).

Vince9164, this is an image of a 18 x 10.5 et 30 with a 275/35. I had added a 5mm spacer after this image was taken and clearance was still good, about another 5mm before touching the fender. Aggressively cut fenders to clear.

Hopes this gives you an idea what your fitment may be like. I think fitting a 265 will really depend on what tire manufacturer you buy from, as some run wide and some narrow and the amount of camber you get dialed in.

Good luck.

^, Yes it will fit, overall diameter grows half an inch all around over factory. The more important issue is the offset.
