i think u might get bubbles before u'll have to worry bout the camber wear...

My latest setup. Might be swapping to another set of tires so they're stretched, instead of flush.

Dammm...what causes bubbles? I know you probably know what your talkin about since you guys have been riding this style longer than me.

camber wear isn't really that bad, i run -3 degrees all around on my fk452's and got around 8-10k miles. just flipped the tires this weekend so i'll easily get another 8-10k miles out of it.

hey guys, car is getting closer to coming out of the body shop and i'm trying to decide on my wheels/tires....i need new rears but my front 245/35-19s are still good. are they gonna be too stretched on a 9.5" wheel or will they look good? also if i just do new outer lips on my rears they're gonna jump to 11.5" from 10.5". 275/30s still gonna work or should i step up a bit? i still want a semi-stretched look. thanks in advance.

all i wanted to know...think i'll run em till they wear out and then try something else....ur car is ridiclulously low man i love it! i have to keep mine pretty drivable cause the roads around here suck so hopefully i can get the look i want w/o layin' Do-Luck fiberglass all over the place lol. so if i'm gonna stick w/the 245s what should i do on the back so it doesn't look stupid?

if you are sticking with 245s up front, run a 265 in the rear... should look pretty even between the front setup and rear.

they are project mu brakes


I know my setup isn't as agressive as some of the others posted, but i am about at the limit of what i can run. My car makes over 700whp so it is hard to run alot of camber /--\

Hey guys..I need some quick feedback...

I wanna do the stretched tire & aggresive look, but I wanted to get some feedback, before i pull the trigger.

I currently already have 4 Brand new 235/35/19 Falken 452's...

and I wanna purchase some 3piece Aristo 19x9 +18 and 19x10 +22

Can I run 235/35/19 all the way around? Any one have pics of a 235 on a 19x10?

Also can someone tell me if those offsets are decent? or what can I do to make them aggresive thanks...

i have a 225/30 on a 10..

you can run that tire size all around but it might not look right. also, your offsets are very conservative. spacers all around would make it more flush.

a lot of the lip gets exposed but just drive carefully and you're all good
