275 tires with Eibach springs

F: 245/40/19 - R: 275/35/19 IPL wheels
Is there anyone running the same tire sizes with eibach lowering springs on a coupe?

I'm trying to order them as soon as possible but afraid of rubbing or terrible tire wear. Would I need a full camber kit? What's a good brand for camber kit if needed?

Can't find a definitive answer on this, thanks!

Plenty of info on the springs and whether or not camber adjusters are needed.

Get the rear camber kit and you should be good to go. I've had SPC F&R kit for almost 5 years now and they've performed well.
You won't have problems running those tire sizes either.

you think I'll be pushing it if I add 10mm-15mm spacers?

got my eyes on a full front and rear camber kit just for safety. Gonna order the springs now and research and find the best prices on the cambers. Thanks blnewt you've always been a great help.

Going w/ the F&R set is the best plan, especially if you end up w/ coilovers at a later date. Even though some members say they get in spec without camber sets it's really pushing it. The fronts can often get close and since toe is not a problem in front that can result in decent treadwear. But having full F&R kits will get you the best tire wear when properly aligned.
I hate recommending spacer sizing, IMO it's best to do the drop, let it settle out, get it aligned, then see just how much spacing you want, if any. What's flush for one is not always what is for another if you know what I mean.

IPLs still have the same ridiculously high offset as sport wheels and most go with 20/25mm spacers...even with a drop you'll have room but as B said do the drop first then reassess your free space.

I have 275/35 while on the lowest springs they make and I don't rub at all, plenty of space actually. Probably install 10mm spacers in the rear.
