Just checked the Tire Race and depends on the tire. A Continental ExtremeContact 285/35/19 will work on a 9-11" rim, but a Hankook Evo V12 needs a 9.5" rim.

Either way, a 285 tire on our stock rim is a tight squeeze. I think 275 is probably as wide as you should go.

Ok thanks - so you never have rubbing on the front? It's only the rear I have to worry about?

Great angle on this shot - does anyone have a similar angled pic of 245/275 with 20/15 or 15/15 spacers? I want to see how the wider tires look.

Think there would be less or no rubbing with 15/15MM spacers on 245/275?

Hi TVPostSound, what are the frt and rr kits that I should use to get your set up? Is there a specific model of camber kits? Or is it just camber adjustments on stock?

I just ordered swift springs with H&R 20mm front and 15mm rear spacers. I have stock 225/245 and will post maybe next weekend if they come in by then..I need new tires so I'm going to go with what TVPostSound's set up, exactly what I want.

Yes, if you increase the rear to 275, then youll need 15mm spacers.

I'll wait until you get those 20mm front and 15mm rear with the stock tires so I can see your pictures. From the Black G with the wide angle shot with 20mm all the way around in stock tires with a drop. It be hard to see a difference of 5mm.

I can see 5 mm difference very well.

20mm with stock tires keeps it square.

20 frt and 15 rear, with 245/275 keeps it square.

I can see the difference as well. I have 20 on front and rear and my rear seems more aggressive. Might be because the front is a little lower than rear.
