21112 - Yes, this is a one time deal, there is no official time limit, its pretty much done when all the wheels have been sold.
roncfpz - A 325 will be close but it will depend also on what suspension you are running and how big your shock body is.

OK, these may all be stupid questions, but I'd rather ask them and have them not answered than not ask them at all....
1.) 265 tire on a 10.5 rim seems off to me. Is this the thickest tire that will fit up front? Rim width calculators seem to say anywhere from a 265 to a 315 will fit on a 10.5. So it almost seems more likely to fit maybe a 275-285 on the 10.5. Would these not fit?
2.) I guess to answer the first question, the diameter would have to be defined as well. What are we thinking, 30 series? Would any of the sizes fit with a 35 series?
3.) As for the rear, the same calculator I used says a 295-345 will fit on a 11.5. Are we thinking the 305's are the preferred size (in 30 diameter?), but 315's may fit?
4.) Would the car be able to be lowered at all with any of the above setups? <1 inch, > 1 inch, or none at all?
5.) If after it all, a person doesn't want to go with 10.5 up front, could they get the rears with maybe a 9.5 up front (listed on your website, but says not for online sale).
6.) Just to be crystal on this....these are all to fit under the stock fenders (maybe rolled if need be)....not a widebody or wider fenders (ex...Seibon +10mm)?

275's may fit...not sure about the 285's. The tires will fit the 10.5 rims for sure, but it's the fender clearance that is the issue.

Most likely a 30 series. All depends on what width you are going for.
3.) As for the rear, the same calculator I used says a 295-345 will fit on a 11.5. Are we thinking the 305's are the preferred size (in 30 diameter?), but 315's may fit?
305's will be "safe" to run with the common suspension setups. Any wider, you will need to make sure the shock body is not too thick so it'll rub the tires, as well as clearing the fenders.
4.) Would the car be able to be lowered at all with any of the above setups? <1 inch, > 1 inch, or none at all?
lowering should be fine. I would cut/roll the rear fenders just to be safe. Don't "slam" the car all the way down like the Stance coilovers and such.

yes.
6.) Just to be crystal on this....these are all to fit under the stock fenders (maybe rolled if need be)....not a widebody or wider fenders (ex...Seibon +10mm)?
these are for the stock fenders. If you want to be safe, you could always pull the fenders out just a tad.

Haha, thanks Alex, that pretty much somes it up. The calculator hes using is accurate but it is not taking into account the clearance on the fenders. We all know a 275 or a 285 will fit on a 10.5 no problem but then you have think about the clearance and rubbing issues with the fender. I have seen 275 on a 9.5 in the front on Z's clear with no issues but a 265 may be more on the safe side. I think if you run a 265, you should be able to to use a 35 series tire but with a 275, you may need to run a 30 series. You will be able to get away with a 315 in the rear with most suspensions, a 325 will be pretty close.

^Thanks guys.
Yeah, It wasn't whether or not they would fit on the rim, it was whether or not they would fit under the fender that I was worried about. Only because it just sounds like the 265 on the 10.5 rim is too small of a tire for that rim. I'd feel better running 275 (and great running 285) but I wasn't sure if they would fit under the fender.
If everything fits, I do think this would be a killer setup.
