I had +22 LE's fenders non rolled and +12 te's fenders rolled rolled. Both had a 295 that was actually like a 285. On the +22 I ran -1.5 camber and on the +12 i ran -2.

Hope that helps

Arches are fenders yea, it's a UK thing.

Mine is pretty low, might clear if it was higher but not doing that, just going to get the 'fenders' rolled.

My 275/35 PS2s sit right on the lip, i pulled the camber right in and it was like 45 deg before it cleared. , bit of a disappointment when i thought i'd have them on today.

Arches? I started picturing the McDonald's sign. Just roll the fenders and run some more negative camber if necessary.

Something seems wrong. +22 with a 275 is not anywhere near a problem on a lot of slammed cars around the forums. I have only ever seen one person on here say that +22 is a problem.

That's what i thought, and was quite surprised but the lip sat right on the tyres.

Don't have any pics as i had to take them straight off.

295 on a Michelin is different than 295 on a Bridgestone is different than a 295 on Toyos

set your camber to -2 and youll be fine...roll those fenders anyways just for extra assurance.

If you're lowered alot, then just add camber like everyone is suggesting. This isnt exactly an aggressive fit. Easy fix!

I had the same problems with my TA TE's with 275's in the rear. My rear coilovers were down all the way so yeah. Just do a mild roll and youll be fine.

I had to pull the camber way in past -2.0 for clearance so i'll just roll the arches and set it up with about -1.5 which i think should clear.

My tein flex are all the way down at the back with the rubber mounts also cut.
