Question To ALL Those WHo Are Running... 285's Out Back?

Okay... Looks like I will need at least one more set of rears on my Z with colder temps approaching and my tread gettin low.

I have my eyes set on the TOYO T1-R and I have ALWAYS wanted some more meat out back. I've ran 275 since I bought my car back in Sep 02'!
I have Eibachs... Can I run 285's out back without rubbing/modifying?
Looking at how my 275's currently sit inside the wells and taper in due to the much expected negative camber, so I'm thinking a lil' more meat won't rub still.
Any of you with my particular setup, feedback is much welcomed.

What is your rear offset? I am lowered about 1.5" on JIC's with a +22 offset and 285/35 out back. I had to roll the fenders to keep from rubbing....

I would say just inside the fender. But possibly depending on offset it could rub right where the bend is in the fender.
I sotta call my guy and ask him to remind me of my offset...?

Hmmm, if it doesnt rub it will be damn close. Id roll the fenders for the piece of mind. I bet you it will rub when cornering hard though. I paid $80 to have mine rolled.

-4 in the back for me. I am nearly dropped about 1.5 on my flex. I want to get my camber fixed but i just cant see paying for the evo arms. I wish hotchkis would release their product. I go through tires about every 6 - 8 months.

If you guys are running 285/35/19 on a mild drop with no rubbing issues, I'm thinking a 295/30/19 would be ok then? Or maybe not?

I have 285's with eibach pro, I trimmed my fenders to be safe, looks like I would have rubbed.
