I know someone with 275 in the rear with -3.5 camber on a 10.5 +0 and he still rubbed the sidewall letters off his tires.

I had 245s on the front on a 9.5 -3 and it rubbed a tad....so the 245s might work in the front.

I Agree with Jonny,, Either Roll some more and do a little pull at the same time. Or lower tire size and more camber..

OR ARE/IS THERE SUCH THINGS AS HAVING A BIG LIP ON RIMS AND STILL BEING LIGHT AT THE SAMETIME, AND ROYAL-T CAN U PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION TOO ON YOUR DPE'S (SINCE I'M REALLY CONSIDERING THOSE RIMS)

in this picture I was running

245/35/20 +7 in the fronts with -1.8 camber
275/30/20 +0 in the rear with -3.5 camber

Fronts were perfect except on mild bumps i would rub this little part of the frame. But that was because I had 35 series tires on the 20" rim. With 19's you'll be fine.

in this picture I was running

235/30/20 -3 fronts with same camber
275/30/20 +0 rear with same camber

IMHO I think a 30 series tire seems way too thin. Scared to ride on bumpy roads because of my higher risk of getting my tire slashed/damaged somehow. If I had to do it again, I would go with the 245/35/20 again. I would have done more stretch in the rear but since I have the Vortech, I need more rubber to the ground.

Your gonna be at 245/35/19 +2 in the front? Thats another 5mm's further out than my setup. Your gonna have to run at least -2 camber in the fronts. I maxed out my stock arms in the front and they got me at -1.8.

If you added a 10mm spacer in the front and a 15mm spacer in the rear it'll work with the same camber specs i have.

I believe I was at -1 camber in those shots.

These pictures are not meant to be shown as aggressive wheels or stretch tires. Just to show 350z2go and others what you will be looking like if he went with 10mm spacers.

You gonna have to stretch tire in the front if you wanna use the 15mm spacer. Just FYI

Back to the thread

my test fit with my temporary setup....
