stiffer shock. if the factory springs are any good. if not get stiffer springs and shocks. a little change in the springs and shocks will make a world of difference in rubbing or not and shouldnt hurt the ride quality. just my thoughts.

the rims looks great. love the lip and the black/charcoal finish. very nice choice

Looks decent... How is ride quality compared to stock? I'm almost considering 18's up front and 19's in the rear myself. Never really did staggered sizes like that before but it looks good on most cars i've seen it that way on.

What's the widest you can go on stock rims and stock suspension? Can you get 265s, how about 275s?

Depends a lot on the wheels offset. If they are hugging the fenders, you would probably need a little narrower tire. If they are more centered, you can probably get away with a 275 assuming the wheel is wide enough for it. I believe I seen a picture of someone who put 275's on the stock 17x8's and it fit just fine.
