Well I was on tein s techs and I was running 285/35/19x10 +32 and 255/40/19x9.5 +27 and fitment was great. I shaved the bracket slightly with a metal filer and no rubbing I do have camber arms but I don't think it's cambered much at all.

i bought and installed BC coils I've been playing around with the height and intend to just tuck 1/4 of the tire and leave the front as is . I Just ordered a set 295/35 for the rear could sqeeze that or am I gonna have to pull or roll? With the BC atm I get some slight rubbing with the 285 as of rn. since it's lower now with the coils and shaved the bracket entirely off and shaved the rug too but still hear something rubbing every now and then lol don't know what it could be .

10 +32 on 295s will probably need a bit more camber, can you ID where on the tire you're making contact? Might pull the tire(s) and put a little grease or duct tape on the spot(s) that look to be the culprit, drive around until you get contact and check the tape or grease for signs of wear. That bracket may have to be ground down further is my guess.
About .5 degrees more camber should net enough room for 295s once you get the area where the 285s are having issues.

Best side shots i have .. car hasn't really been clean so I haven't taken too many pictures

as for the rubbing it was eating the top of the tire but it stopped once I shaved the brackets but only on deep bumps I get a rub and I feel like it's not a hella flush fit so it shouldn't be rubbing I have like 1/4" gap in between the tire and the fender I figured the 295/35 will fill it in .. the s techs were a perfect set up all around but you get coils and get greedy with lowering it lol I need to raise it back to this height but it's hard to find the height again .

i just edited and uploaded the first picture you can see the 1/4 gap I feel might be enough space to squeeze the 295 .. I was wanting to put a 305/35 back there but baby steps I guess lol..

If you have a 1/4" from the inside fender edge to the tire edge then the additional 5mm of the 295s will slip right in there with a whopping 1-2mm to spare, so assuming the tires don't run 10mm wider (some will) than your current tires you should be good to go, but having a little camber as a last resort shouldn't be a deal breaker.

So here it is 295/35/19x10 +33 it didn't exactly fit as planned i had to raise the car 1/4" and got just above -2 camber ... it looks great but any ideas on getting this camber down to 1.5 again ?

Looks about as close as you can go, -2 camber should be ok though as long as toe is in spec.

I'm thinking about pulling and rolling the fender , I know there's nothing to roll up but if I use the tool I think I can attempt to get it to pull . Any idea how much I would need to pull to get it that 1.5 camber? Also yeah my toe both sides are around .02

Posted in the 19" wheel pic thread but I thought I should post on here as well. I got the rear fenders slightly pulled. No camber kit. I'm still hesitant to get some slight camber since I don't want unnecessary wear on the inside of my tires. What do you guys think? Also, I know it's supposed to be three pics max but I want to add a fourth pic to show an extra angle of how the rears look to give you guys a better view. I know the fitment is really aggressive.

How much camber are you running? I would go for slightly more in the back

TBH, everything looked pretty good until you posted that 4th pic, that camber looks to be quite higher than a -2, or is the car on some heavy angle that the pic isn't really showing??

That 4th pic w/ that much of the outer edge of the tire off the ground will result in pretty poor wear, adding even more camber, yikes!

I know you're not too opposed to selling the wheels, I think I'd look into that, especially since stretched tires aren't something you're wanting to do.

If that 4th pic is an anomaly and your camber is truly only -2, then another .5 camber would be a plan.
