For the fronts there's not much selection in 265's, I went with a 275/40/17, fits fine and way more selection. In the back you can easily run 305's if you want something bigger, some go with a 315 on the stock wheels but that may be a bit of a stretch.

If you'll be getting a street compound, your best bet with stock wheels is 265/ or 275/40-17 fronts and 295/35-18 rears. If you're shopping for R-comps, then there are tires available in 305 and 315 for the rear. For better or worse, the easiest way to fill the wheel wells is to just lower the car. Lowering on stock bolts makes a noticeable difference but won't affect ride quality/performance much.
