How to fit 265 width slicks on evo9?
I know I will have to roll fenders, but what rims width and ET I need? The pirelli full slicks will be used for race track. How much do I need to roll the fenders? Anybody has done it already? photos?

what size/offset are your wheels?
most r-compound 265s are actually much wider than regular street tires.
you would get at least 9.5" in width and +30 offset.

Fronts you'll have to heat and manipulate the plastic heat shields.
A word of advice... unless you run a 9.5" wide rim you would be better off getting a narrower tire. Running a wide tire on a narrow rim really doesn't put the stick to the ground. You end up adding weight and drag with next to no additional contact patch.
