Anyway, my point is 275/30 should work but you'll be cutting it close if your bracket isn't mostly shaved off and you're running some camber.
Hmm.. you could also run 265/30 toyo's. I wouldnt want to shave off basically all of it. -2.6 camber. not too bad. I would go with 265/30 to be on the safe side

LOL^ dude you might, first shave your bracket as much as possible. Its going to rub like heck if you dont. like i said best way to go is 245/30 and 265/30 toyos, buts thats$$ but it might be a pefect fit, especially since toyo's are basically a stretched looking tire. with your drop its hard to say, H&R is slammed, so u might run into some probs, it can be done though.

Yea if you're worried about running camber may as well shave as much of the bracket off as you can. Honestly I can't tell you from experience if it'll work with less than -3 camber with 275/30 tires. I'm sure it can be done but it requires a bit of trial and error.

And I'm lowered on KW coils, I don't really have an updated picture but I'd say my rear is about as low as yours, if not a tiny bit higher.

^^how come you're looking to try 275 anyways if 255 works? you want a wider tire for traction? or you don't want to stretch if unneccessary

Tires came in today, work has been pretty busy so I will be mounting as soon as possible. I will also be selling my hankooks which are basically brand new, only drove on them a few weeks. 235/30 and 255/30. I hope these Falken 452 work.
