Thanks! Man so tempted to run the 295's but I think the 285's would be the safe route.

It would be great if you had a shop that could test fit 295s, know anyone??
You could always camber up a little if you were real close.

Not much, drivers side is -.6 and passenger -1.2 degrees.

The hard part for me is timing and being in Iraq. Like to know if anyone is running the same setup.

I think I'm going to stick with the 255/40 & 285/35. Maybe once they burn up and I can confirm a 295 fitment with the Swifts I'll do it.

Can someone confirm the wheel studs are; 12x1.25 pitch.

Probably the safest plan And 285s are still fat enough to be in this thread, lol.
And yes, those are the stud specs (just checked my box for my wheel locks and they're 12x12.5)

I'm not sure on a 10" wide wheels but I know I've seen someone stuff a 305 on a sedan.

I bet a 305/30-19 +50 might work. That's a big tire for a sedan.

I think ultimately it's really a matter of playing with camber. ;-)

5mm out from where I am w/ a 20x10 +45, so a +50 would work, there's a back control arm (I think that's what it is) that may start coming in to play w/ inside interference but not sure.

Dang 305's would be insane! Im running 295's on a 10.5 with stock camber/alignment. I did take mine in for an alignment and the checked it. Said it was still within specs and not needed. Im getting close to needing new shoes so I may try a 305
