^With all due respect that is not aggressive at all.

Please reference the first page of this thread for what aggressive is.

Depends on the tires, but you'll need some help in the rear (fender roll, camber, etc.0 to get the 295 to not rub on the 10.5 +15, but I like it.

No spacers, they are +15, which is 7mm more aggressive than your +22.

So I've heard (and I don't doubt). Have you actually seen guys run xyz tires and abc wheel, then change to a smaller tire on the same wheel and be faster? I sold the set of 265s I had because they were just so. . . little. These are only as back-ups anyway, though I do plan to use them to see how they feel.

Should be a problem. I used to run a 10" +25 front, and although it was very close (and sometimes I ran a 3mm shim spacer), it fit. You should have 9mm more clearance than that set-up (before I added the spacers).

Alright, I've done some searching on here for the past couple of days, but I could still use some advice. I'm about to buy some new wheels with these specs:
19x10
19+11
and I'd like to keep my 255/35 & 285/35's.

I just wondering how agressive an offset I could go with and stay in factory camber specs? My rear fenders are already rolled and I've lowered on KW II's with SPC arms/bolts. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of +15 F and +12 R...thoughts?

I found these in my searching (ironically they're posted back-to-back in this thread).

On second thought I'd probably have to be in the low 20's

Thanks everyone. I'm still in love too...since 04. Treating her to a new front bumper as soon as the shop can work it in.

These pics show off the 255/35 front tires on 9.5 +10 better...which are the only ones I consider aggressive enough for this thread.

Fitment on my S14 too...



Rear before I rolled... now rolled with a 10mm spacer.




I actually have to unbolt the coilover in the rear to drop the knuckle in order to even take the wheel off since the studs are 3.5" long and the coilovers are so low.

Default 305s!

- Volk LE37 19x9.5 (+22), 19x10.5 (+22)
- Michelin Pilot Sports 255/35/19 and 305/30/19
- Stock ride height (Please save your 4-runner comments. I've heard them before)
- Rear fenders are rolled and very slightly pulled

Love the way these 305's hook up, and they only weigh 1lb more than the 275/35/19 setup I had previously. go figure.. Oh, and the rim protector sticks WAY out :-)

When my front 255/35's wear out, I'll go with 275/30's.

Thanks Scott for helping me understand what will fit!

I took some pics in direct, low sunlight so you can actually see the meats.
