Yea, if I ran a stretch tire maybe 265 then no pull would have been necessary. But I prefer the look of a fat tire . You could also go with more negative camber I am only at -2.00 right now for the rears. However, I wanted to get the most miles out of my tires so I decided on a slight fender pull.

I see. How much of a pull did you do ?

idajones: Looks good and happy to see fat tires! I think I'm not a fan of the wheels. I've seen a lot worst though so don't take it the wrong way. Maybe once you get the car washed and shining again I'll think different.

Not super aggressive/fat. +25 in the rear,i believe, but the 275 rears with that -5.2 rear camber sure makes it look damn aggressive

I was trying to search for this, but came up short. Does anyone know if I could get away with a 305/30/20 on a 10.5" wheel at a subtle +39 offset in the rear? I have the back fender bracket relocated / clipped, running a 285 now.

Do you have those same wheels mounted w/ your 285s?
If you're dropped pretty good and have 10mm to spare then yes

Correct, they're mounted currently with -1.9 negative camber and it seems to have a lot of wiggle room. Believe it or not the Falken 452s look a little stretched even on a 10.5" using a 285/30/20

Diego ran somewhat the same set up but with 25 instead of 30.

I did see this, thanks. Beautiful setup, but 25 series isn't enough tire. I'll be getting way less traction than with the 285/30/20 I'm running now at my power.
