Because of lack of recent availability of Varrstoens 2.2.1 after I crashed in Ohio on the way to Zdayz, I am now a +0 in the rear. Thankfully a Z31 guy at Branson Z Fest had a fender roller (cut tire a little with rolled fenders) so now I'm a bit stretched Not exactly what I wanted to do, but hey, at least It's all back together and looking tough as hell!!
how low were you when your tire got cut, I was thinking of going 275/295. or 265/285. Not sure yet

Why did you install 20mm rear spacers? That is going to rub on every bump and divot. Your tire is sticking out past the fender.

Did it for the look, yes it is sticking out pass the fender but not a whole lot. I will be rolling it next week, it rubs a little on slight bumps. I live in fl so the roads on where I driving are pretty good.

This type of response always cracks me up. You must not realize that his 275/40/18 is the same total height as the stock 245/45/18. That also means that the amount of sidewall (4.3") is the same on this tire as it is on the stock wheel/tire set-up. It looks worse in this case because he has them pushed past the fenders compared to the stock wheel which is - relatively speaking - sunken in.

I like the 275/40 rear tire, and think it would look perfect without the spacers. I do not like them pushed out like that though.

agreed.
1010tires.com is your friend.
Tire size is comparable and maitains what is surely great traction.
roll those fenders and you're money.

That's not very aggressive at all for an 18x10.

He could probably run 305/30s all around if he axed the spacers.

Fenders are rolled only. The drop is 25 3/4" front and 26 1/4" rear. Camber is -2.5 all around.

Scott WHat would u recommend then? I have same setup(wheels specs wise) As soon as i get a front bumper ill be attacking the tires plus drop etc. I have 295 35s in the rear now. Will be switching the fronts from 245 2 265 35 i guess. I will be lowered on prob GF210s. Looking for a mild MILD drop just to help with fender spacing. I really need a rear spacers so what u think? I dont track/drag. just a DD
