Don't run 265s on 8 inch wide wheels. Never run larger than 245 unless they are some sort of track tire.

I have 245's up front, and they are about as big as you'd want to go. even still they are kinda squeezed in there, a 225 or 235 would be a little easier to fit. my 245's are on 17x8, 30 offset. they only slightly clear the coilover and rub a little on some of the splash gaurds in the fender well when cornering

lol take your splash guards out man. S14 can swallow some huge tires. 265s up front no problem as long as they are on the right size wheels.

Making big tires fit up front on s13s is where it gets tricky.

Why would you ever run 265's on an 8" wheel? I would suggest 225's.
