265 tires on 8.5" wheel experience?

Could anyone share their experience and/or pictures running 265 tires on stock width wheels (8.5")? I'd like to know what the sidewall looks like and if you felt any loss in steering response due to the oversized tires.

I realize it's out of most tire manufacturers suggested sizing, but I know people are doing it. The reasoning is to stay in street class for auto-x, you must run factory width rims, but there's no restriction on tire width.
 
Yes there is a loss in steering response but you gain lateral grip so to me it is worth it.
