275's all around~
 
Hey everyone. I have been running 275's all around:

Front 275/35/19 Toyo T1R 9.5 +22
Rear 275/30/19 Toyo T1R 10.5 +22

My only question is how come I'm not rubbing in the front? I'm lowered on KW V3 about 1.8-1.9 inches or so and I've heard that people who run more than 255's in front usually rub~ I have stock front camber arms but rear SPC cambers~

I haven't heard any rubbing (fender nor control arms) at all, however I also have not checked to see if any of my tires have any extreme wear on the inside~ I do believe that I'm missing something here~

Any input is appreciated, thx~

maybe u have high offsets?

jamesdean Sep 27, 2010 01:08 AM

Its all about the offsets. Most that are rubbing are running more aggressive offsets or taller tires or both.

Some of us are just too cool to rub.

Why are you running a shorter tire in the rear? I'm hoping you meant this the other way around.

And to help with your question offset as stated above and your camber could be playing a factor of why your not rubbing.

a buddy of mine is running 275/35/18 all around with a +15 offset, he's also lowered on kw v3's and no rubbing at all. -2 degrees of camber upfront though.

I know plenty people running higher profile tires up front but usually on a staggered setup, not square.

ya 275/35/18 on a 9.5 +20 up front with 1.5* camber. no rubbing

Zazz93 Sep 27, 2010 08:42 AM

I'm missing something... so are you rubbing in the back or not at all?

Also +1 on the rear tire being a 30 instead of 35 series.

03threefiftyz Sep 27, 2010 09:48 AM

I use a 285/30 R888, lowered ~1.2", and -3 camber (on the front)......no rubbing even under extreme load.

Yes I have to, but with this square setup the 275/30 is an inch shorter than the 275/35 in overall diameter.

Caledan Sep 27, 2010 04:28 PM

Thx everyone for your prompt feedback~ I do believe that it's my offset and front negative camber which is preventing me from rubbing atm~

I am actually running 35 wall up front and 30 in the rear (tires came with rims and I didn't want to risk scratching my rims for the swap). I do not rub at the rear either~

With 275 upfront......steering requires a lot of force, but trackwise...it's stable as hell~

Square setup? I have no $$$ for new tires haha...

that wheel width/offset on stock front camber arms(a 1.5" or so drop should put it at around -2 camber) can fit a 285 front and a 295 rear(with a roll). i would do a 285/30f 295/35r.

personally, a 275/30 on a 10.5" wheel is not ideal(toyo agrees)---why not swap the 35 series to the rear and put the 30's on the front for the time being(toyo would approve of that).

Bad picture....worse tape job. 285/30/18 R888.....-3 camber on front.

Another bad picture.....285/30/18 R888....-2.1 camber.

None of the fenders have been touched. No roll or anything.

I don't get it, are pictures really that important?

PLz don't mind the crappy cell pics~

O and I do believe the pics are a bit too large, anyone know how to resize em?

Caledan Oct 1, 2010 02:24 AM

K last question, if I was to obtain front camber arms and have them adjusted with less degree of neg camber..........what is the lowest degree of negative camber I can set it at for the front to avoid tire rubbing?

Any feedback appreciated as always~ :D
