My setup, 245/35/19 and 295/30/19, rear rim 10.5 @+29, dropped 5/8" with rear camber at -1.5. Rear fender is trimmed.

Damn, so with a 295/30 on the rear, you STILL have to trim/shave the rear fenders on a +29? you said the car is dropped 5/8", but it looks like it may be more than that...can you measure the height from the ground to the top of the rear wheel well? Looking good

BhashaZ,

It looks that way because the car is pulled up on a curb to illustrate the wheel in a compressed state. It's dropped on RS*R downsprings 5/8" all 4 corners. And yes, thank goodness I got +29, whish I had +35 which would be perfect IMO. Those are the Conti 2s, which are as wide as everyone else's 305s.

Cool. I don't even know how many questions I've asked you about your setup: before I got my wheels, after I got my wheels, and again now that I'm thinking of possibly changing it up! You must be getting sick of me!

Anyways, yeah, the Conti 2's definately seem to run wider than other tires. And what I actually like about them is the fact that the tread pattern (although non-aggressive) makes the tire look wider since there are a bunch of parallel tread lines versus a "v" shape. Might look into going with these or Pirelli's...thanks for helping me out as always!

I have the T1R's, and I vote for 255/35 & 275/35...this is the setup I have with +22 offset all around. No rubbing on 9.5/10.5 combo.
