The newer cars have a little more room in the fenders from what I understand.
Also, what negative camber are you running and what is your caster? BDR has adjustable camber plates and caster adjusters in case you need to fine tune any of those area. Can find them on the parts site.
Mark,

Boynton Beach hasn't had camber plates in stock for about 2 years now. They didn't have caster adjustors for over a year.

265's will fit on a stock RT3 using factory 18" front wheels and not rub as long as you have the caster adjusted to put the wheel in the center of the opening. At least they fit on #888 as that is what I ran up front on my car before I switched to 315's up front.
