If you can fit 275's on the rear without rubbing, this should fix your problem. You could go with 225's on the front, but the 275's on the rear would look better.
Awesome thanks for the answer. I was looking at the 275's earlier on their site and they are even closer diameter to the 235's than the 265's. I think if I want to keep these wheels I'll have to bite the bullet and go that route.

Sad part is I wanted 275's in the first place but I saw most staggered setups used 265's lol.
