Replacing stock tires with 285s & 325s... who's done it? Stock wheels, or new offsets?

Title says it all: Who has replaced the stock 275F/305R with 285F/325R?

If so, did you do it with the stock wheels - and if so, did you mill and/or space?

If you did new wheels, how much did you adjust offset, and in which direction?

Went with neutral alignment. Ran this setup for 3k miles early this year on a 2025 ct5v blackwing without any issues or rubbing. Great traction through light snow and cold temperatures. This setup functions as my winter setup and then I go back to stock setup for summer months.

Very nice. The "no rubbing" part was what I wanted to hear.

How much different are the centerlines compared to the stock wheels, if at all?

Does Apex have these off the shelf, or did you spec them yourself?
 
They were off the shelf and hub centric which was important to me as I didn’t want to deal with additional rings or spacers. I’m not sure about the true centerline difference between the two setups.
 
Thanks. If you happen to have/get any more pics from the side (showing how far they stick out or fill the tub) or rear (from down low), I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again.

Here’s some pictures. Sorry for the delay but had to wait to get the winter setup back on the car. Left some positive camber this year compared to neutral setup last year and still no rubbing.

I went with the same tires on OEM wheels. Spacer and longer wheel studs on the back, but is it worth changing off factory alignment? I'd like to minimize wear on tires but I don't know how factory alignment is.
