You'll be out a 5mm (0.02") more than me. Since you're on coils I say go with the 305/30 and make height adjustment.

Might want to start considering a set of F&R SPL camber arms. They really help with getting that perfect alignment. I ordered mine from Import Parts Pro.

LCA's and toe buckets unfortunately. That said, I have probably towed 6000mi in the past few years and it has not bent the arms or pulled the alignment yet...

Amazing pics.

I have been going to the tow hook in the front, and LCAs in the rears. Wasn't sure what others were doing, and have been considering going through the wheels.

Just got some rims, 18x8.75 +20 for the front and 18x9.75 +20 for the rear. Looking to join this fat tire community, any recommendations on tire sizes? Stock suspension, fenders aren't rolled.

Ditch the XXR junk and buy wider wheels.

I wasnt looking to spend a lot of money on rims, between the conditions of the roads and the fact that its my dd, its not worth it to me. Any recommendations on some tire sizes would be appreciated though, thanks.

That should be a major factor on buying a quality set of wheels.

EDIT: Oh and we don't **** around with 8" wide wheels. Come back when you're ready to run 10", 11" and 12" wide wheel. Than we can give you tire recommendations. Till than listen to the counter guy at Discount Tire. LOL

I currently have staggered Enkei RPF1's in this setup:
Front: 18x9.5+15 with RS-3 265/35/18 tires
Rear: 18x10.5+15 with RS-3 285/35/18 tires

I used to run NT05 275/40 up front and 295/35 in the rear without rubbing. Since my fronts are worn out and rears are practically new, I was thinking about swapping the 285's up front and try some R888 305/35/18 for the rear. My front fenders are cut and my rears are rolled. My camber is set to -2.0 front, -1.5 rear and I'm lowered just over 1". Think I have a shot?
