Wowzers !!
Hats off to you dude, thats a pretty extreme set of rims for one of these.
The width and offsets you mentioned mean before spacers you have got your inner rim 32mm closer to the uprights, which I think is probably 10mm too close, but as said, you are also making your caliper get closer to a straighter spoke, even with 20mm spacers which will perhaps give you 10mm clearance on the inner edge, you may find those flat diagonal spokes hitting the caliper, as you will effectively be net 6mm worse off and the standard rims have a more curved look to them on the outer edge specifically to clear these big ole calipers, I think ultimately you are gonna be looking at having added somewhere close to 30mm to the outer edge of your current wheel by the time you have cleared the caliper and that most deifnately will need more than a light roll on the arches, I think you will need a significant pull, unless you run maybe 2.0deg extra camber, which with the 265's small stretch compared to 255's on a 9j should mean a 10-15mm saving which would bring you right back to the 12mm max spacer ballpark most here have found is just about bearable if you dont go too low, but dont forget you will then have used up all the space you had gained on your inner edges with the uprights, so I think you are possibly gonna be that quarter of an inch too far, but good luck with it, its definitely baller spec !!!!
Hope the above made sense - for reference, on our stock tyre size, a 1deg tilt means approx 5mm shift at the outer edge.
