Anyone have regrets going with 305s?

I just picked up a set of 305/30/19 for the rear, haven't mounted them yet but I am having regrets. I am currently on 285s, -1.6 camber, half finger gap and fenders are already rolled. I either have to raise the car or add more camber. I really like the ride height I am at now and I want to avoid the 4x4 look so I’m not a fan of raising. I'm ok with adding more camber but approximately how much will I need? I would like to keep it under -2.0 if thats possible. I want these tires to last.
These are going on 10.5 +24 rims.

Sell them, from the sounds of it your happy and thought 305s wasn't that big of a change! Then you mention tire wear! Post them for sale on craigslist.

You could look into having the wheel machined to a higher offset. There are mixed opinions on the practice, but you could squeeze a few mm out of it.

Is this aggressive enough?

Rear suspension clearance at resting height:
(There's about 3-4mm clearance on full compression.)

Obviously some fender gap in the rear, but that's because these tires are shorter than my daily drivers. I may lower it a tad. I'm going to add a 2.5 or 3mm spacer to the front b/c there's only about 1mm of clearance between the tire and suspension.

I thought you had an 11 on front? It's going to be pushy...

^Says the guy running no rear sway bar, haha. I chickened out after I saw how much yours extended past the fender. I may order a pair of 11s eventually, once the car is no longer doubling as my daily driver and I won't care as much about the ride height or fenders.

Front looks sick.. I understand the function I just do not like how the tire extends past the fender so much when its just sitting there. Reminds me of the mexican-mobile trucks with the wheels sticking really far out past the fender lol.

I put the stock bar back on. It was pushy as hell at the DC Pro...

Looks good jarrodh77! More & more I wish I would've bought the Seibon +10mm F&R CF fenders and went with wider wheels.

It's not really a matter of miles, but a matter of heat cycles. They will likely out heat cycle before they cord. The A6s will wear faster, but grip comes on much more quickly. Your Rs need a little heat before they stick of course.

The super stiff sidewall wakes the A/R 6 absolutely unlivable on the street IMO. I doubt you can find someone that could give you a street miles to cord on R6's. Given that we are getting into summer they will wear quickly. Particularly if you drive on concrete highways.

Hi guys,

I've gotten through this whole forum, and I keep getting mixed up opinions.

I am getting 19x9.5 and 19x11 with +22 and +25 offset respectively.

I just bought 265 35 19 and 305 30 19s. I am running stock suspension. Will I have any rubbing issues??? I thought I wouldn't after my research.. but i read a few more posts, and it had me concerned.

Any insight is appreciated.
