please read up a bit on how changing your offset effects your steering pivot angle.

so how did you calculate the best camber for your tire and the compromise of steering angle, suspension mount angle, Control arm movement, body shift, and overall weight transfer dynamics?

(I have no dog in this fight, just curious since you said the "best camber")

I don't know where you found "best camber", but finding proper camber for your tires is for the most part done with a pyrometer.

Well the 9.5's are still MIA and MSR is Saturday. Guess (hopefully) first use of them will be next month.

Had Discount Tire mount the 275/40's on the 10.5's. They do stick out but have about 1" of height clearance. I'll post pics later. Still waiting on the 9.5's.
