The 255 on a 9.5 rim you would have some stretch but the 285 you wouldn't on a 10.5 rim. I have seen several 285's and it was hardly noticeable.

The last time I had my car lazer aligned after dropping the car another finger width, I ran into Toe issues.... The tech could get the camber where I wanted it, but the SPL long toe bolts were maxed out!... I had to have him grind off some material to get it in spec. I was on the phone with SPL who had the same solution as the tech. I couldn't justify not finishing the job, spending crazy cash on more SPL products, waiting for delivery, scheduling another appointment, paying for install and alignment. = OUCH....!

I would of had to spend 2 grand or more on Mid links, arms etc etc.

Can't edit posts on phone....but going on lakeside comment, would 285 match the stretch on the front if I ran 255 up there? Or should I go lower with 245/275? I understand my camber will be close to suicide....maybe

The stretch will be the same yes. Sounds like 245/275 is a good option for you, you will have a conservative stretch and will give you some room for your camber adjustment.

Lmao I dunno how this is gnawing work if I go that route. It seems to me I can only run ridiculous camber but I don't know much about this so MAYBE -3 all around would work???? Ah, such a dillema im in. Just not too confident on it seeing how much they poke. Is there a way to tell if fitment will be an issue without mounting tires, just using the wheel itself?

-3 is alot. I ran -2.7 and i only got around 6-7kmi out of the tires. I'm now at -1.7 to -1.9

I'd have to check my last lazer align print out.

Stop surfing the web on your phone while at school!



I've looked at the pictures constantly and I think with -3 you should be good! That isn't that bad of camber since you don't DD the Nismo! Like I told you on texts msgs that the rear is where Fitment can be problems cause it's only so much pull you can do before your fenders are flared!

Before destroying nice tires, really think you should buy cheap used tires to test fit...

Not to let my ideas out but since my fenders are trimmed and flared and punched already I just need to find a shop who's good at fabrication so I can have a mini GTC car!

<-----crazy
