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'! :icon11:
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 ran 285s without rolling. SF challenge +23 offset 19x10.5

SF-winnings - 10.5" +29 - 285/35 BFG KDW2's - Hotchkis springs - NO RUBBING!

I am thinking about the exact same setup.... I've been told it will fit with no modifcation.....

When you say 'rubs'.. does it rub on the outside or inside of the tirewell?? (nvr had a rwd car...or fat tires lol.....till now -.- )

TXSTYLE Oct 15, 2005 01:21 PM

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...?

roncfpz Oct 15, 2005 02:53 PM

I have Maya GR5 with 29 offset and 285/30 Michelins with no problem at all.

JonathanG35 Oct 16, 2005 03:58 PM

see sig

TXSTYLE Oct 17, 2005 07:58 AM

Mine are +24 offset.

Thoughts...?

JDMFairlady21 Oct 17, 2005 08:10 AM

it wont rub i guarantee it =)

Alberto Oct 17, 2005 12:22 PM

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.

Volk350Z Oct 17, 2005 11:21 PM

how's everyone's camber? i know that's not stock spec camber right??

JonathanG35 Oct 18, 2005 05:02 AM

-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.

Triple8Sol Oct 18, 2005 08:30 PM

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?

JonathanG35 Oct 19, 2005 05:06 AM

i am buying some 295 30 this week. hopefully they will fit ok. worst case, i raise it up a little.

maximumsportZ Oct 19, 2005 05:48 AM

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