Does anyone know if you're able to run a 305/30/20 in the rear on our cars? I have the bumper bracket clipped down and relocated the rear bolt for extra clearance.
My current 285's look somewhat stretched.
Currently running a +39 rear offset

If you had +48 offset I think you could run 305s without excess camber or pulling.
I'm on 295s w/ a 10" +45 and have about 3mm to the inner fender. I'm at zero gap and -1.1 camber. Be a tough fit w/ 305s on a +39 rim unless you plan on running heavy camber and even then probably need a fender pull.

Thanks for the input.
Gorgeous... absolutely clean. I do know the Coupes allow you to run a little more aggressive setup than the Sedans. Maybe a 305 is possible on a Coupe? I'll have to measure the gap difference. I'm only running about -1.8 negative camber which is right inside spec.
With the right offset 305s are definitely possible on a coupe or sedan, although the coupe with it's wider fender span allows for a bit more wiggle room. I know there's a couple sedan guys on 305s and even more coupes.
Guys I'm reposting this from the fitment thread, as the setups here are what I'm going for:
I was going to get Forgestars, but after doing some Googling (very poor customer service / bad quality control).
For other wheels, If I ran something with slighty more aggressive offsets, such as +3X F / +3X R, would I have any fitment / rubbing issues? The only lowering I MAY do is with Eibachs. However, I will be on stock for awhile.
Wheel/Tire sizes will be 19X8.5 F / 19X9.5 or 10" rear. Tire sizes would be 245/45/19 & 275/40/19 in the back.

Coupe. Sorry I should have clarified.
I think this is the wheel setup I'm going for:
http://www.modbargains.com/avant-gar...niti-lexus.htm
19X8.5 F +35
19X9.5 R +40
Tire sizes are 245/45/19 F & 275/40/19 R.
Since the offsets are so close to stock I think I'm good even with the extra width in the rear. Thoughts? Thanks again everyone.
