Default 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~

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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~
