need help!

hey guys, so i picked up a set of gram lights. the offset is 19x9 +15 front and 19x10 +22 in the rear. i'm pretty new to the whole offset/poking so i need your guys help. the tires in the front are 245/35 and the rears are 275/30. the fronts sit flush however the rears poke out a bit. i have 10mm spacers on so that it is now +12, but am now deciding to take them off. my questions is how do i get the rears to sit without sticking out? i'm currently dropped on ark gtf lowering springs but am going to switch to the tein s techs so the drop is a bit lower. any comments are appreciated. thanks!

Start by taking off the 10mm spacers in the rear and see how it looks. Then go from there

You should be fine without the spacer. Worst case scenario take it to an alignment shop and have them dial in your camber. Another option is the stretched tire look.

Do you have adjustable rear camber arms?

thats what i was thinking, but looking at the 10mm spacer, it doesn't seem like it pushes out the wheel out too much but ill give it a try. i was going to get new tires soon, so ill probably get an alignment after that.

right now i'm on stock camber arms. after i get the tein s-techs ill probably get the SPC rear camber kit to go with it.

get an alignment after tires+camber kit that way you won't waste money on another alignment

it's all good. I have lifetime alignment at Firestone so might as well use it. any recommendations on tire sizes if I went with stretched look?
