Nice set up NappyG, that front looks more like a 9 +35 to +40. A 9 +17 should be well past the fender edge. Maybe the pic is misleading???

Agree, that's a nice fit, just seems like that front spec might be off. Kudos for the wheel choice too, looks good on that dark G.

Well these are just some crappy cell phone pics after getting the TE37's and Stance coils thrown on. Still need to do a little adjustments, but that will be after all the rest of the "cosmetic" stuff gets put on and figure out how WIDE I can fill up the rears!

Volk TE37 OG
Magnesium Blue
19x9.5 +22 245/40/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A
19x10.5 +22 265/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE11
Stance XR1 coilovers

If you don't mind running heavy camber with good toe specs you could do that until you need new tires then bump down to 275s and get that camber closer to spec.

Much rather do that. The 295 are 6 mos old and i don't care about destroying them in a year. Camber is at -2.2 now. Should i go to -3.5?

It would be a little trial and error, There was a thread I posted in a while back that had a basic relation between camber value and the amount the tire edge would move in or out but can't recall now where it is

If you have a couple hours to try a few adjustments and just get it to a point where it safely tucks under compression that would be ideal. I'm guessing the camber would be in the -3.2 to 3.5 range, but you aren't too far off right now. Just be sure to get that toe back in once you get it set, that would make your 6 month tires shot in 8 months
