I ran 285/35/19 in the rear, +15, lowered to one finger gap, camber at -1.5 I believe and it rubbed. My guess is you need to be at least at-2.0 if not more for +12.

So my question...

with a 19x9.5/10.5 +12 offset
running 255/35/19 and 285/35/19

how much camber is needed needed to run this setup with a normal roll and not a pulled setup. I want to stay in factory camber specs all around so this is a big deal for me as I dont want excessive camber wear.

I know a lot of it depends on tire brand (ie toyos are smaller, bfg larger, etc) so I will take that into account for sure. I just have heard a lot of people say it will fit find and then then post pics of their setup with nothing but tire specs and rim sizes.... thats without a camber spec it isnt that useful. Almost anything can be fit with excessive camber and pulls.

So yea basically I want to know from the experts how tough it will be this setup to fit with just rolled fenders.

Also I was wondering if I ran tire sizes 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 would I still have to run a lot of camber? It seems most people who are running more aggressive setups are using these tire sizes, but again a lot of people dont post the camber specs they are running with this setup.


For reference I have run these setups with my rolled fenders with no issues or rubbing problems

19x9.5/10.5 +22 with 255/35/19 285/35/19
18x9.5/10.5 +15 with 275/35/19 295/35/19

the car fell in oem spec camber. I believe about 1.5 front 1.75 rear. i have to find the paper and will update after

Anyways TIA
255/35 front and 275/35 rear will also be a great combo for you. The 285 rear with that offset is hit and miss with the camber you want to run. If you run a 275 out back, you will be fine.

Yes, I have 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +12 and the camber hasn't been touched since I've dropped my car.

thanks terra and flow.

i guess 275 is really the best i can go without issues. 255 front, ive read there is problems with that too.

Now i just have to decide if the performance aspect is worth it to run a better fitment.
also my car is not FI so im guessing 275 isnt much of a sacrafice since my car prolly wont even output enough power to make 285-295 worthwhile. thanks again

Good afternoon,
Looking for advice and am wondering if I'm going to run into any issues with changes I'm about to make.

I currently run the following:

Front: 245/35-19s

Rear: 285/35-19s

Stock suspension and I'm slicing into my rear tire. Mainly driver side.. Fronts plenty fine.
Now I just picked up some coilovers to drop the car as much as I can, so to alleviate the rear tire issue I just ordered a pair of Falken 275/30-19s (452's) same brand tires I'm running on the front, they're all basically new now... Doing the math, I think that will give me the clearance I need to alleviate the fender catching the tire occasionally. I have PIAA rims, but I don't see any information on the rim to know what the specs are which frustrates the hell out me. But anyway, does anyone foresee any issues running the 275/30's in the rear and 245/35's in the front?

what are the wheel specs? are you fenders rolled?

I just don't comprehend how you're slicing into the tires on stock suspension. I ran the same tire sizes (255/35 front though) on my Hotchkis spring w/o issues.

I would first start with fender rolling. From there you'll have the adjustability with the coils to control ride height.

Man, wish I could give you the wheel specs, but as referenced in my post, I have no clue and I don't se anything on the rim, could possibly be there somewhere, but I sure don't see it.

As for fender rolling...lol... I've been to every body shop in the area, looked and called all the little off the wall places, and NOBODY, I mean nobody does it around here (Syracuse, NY). They all pretty much look at me like I'm crazy..

Search the local forums. I'm sure there is a shop near-by or a reputable forum member that could do it for you.

Just roll your rear fenders , simple and easy. I believe your at 10 or 10.5 +20 or +25.

Yes you will have problems with that tires size, rears need to be taller than your fronts.

Its easy to slice tires up on stuck suspension with a low enough offset. I know for a fact +15 with 285 will rub on big enough bumps in the road.

Thanks for the advice, can someone verify what I'm thinking though, that is that the sidewall on the 275/30 is going to be damn near the same as the 245/35.. Shouldn't even be noticeable to the eye or have a negative effect on driveability.. I would just get a pair of 245/30's for the front, but I just bought the damn things last month
