On a non-M would there be a potential issue with rubbing on the slightly larger size or would it be wise to play it safe with the smaller size? APEX suggested it could rub and I trust their judgement, but wanted to see if anyone had experience with these. Also, it will be lowered with Eibach Pro Kit springs and Bilstein HD dampers.

Thanks!
What's your wheel size? What are you running in the fronts? I would only run 265 in the rear if you were running 235 front to keep the ride height same -- and that's assuming 235's up front won't rub.

Assuming your rim width is 8.5-9.5", stick with 255. May as well play it safe.
