My car is lowered on H&R springs and aligned to -1.4 in the rear. The wheels and the 315 35 18 tires stick out of the fenders quite a bit. (say goodbye to the paint on your sideskirts lol, mine look sandblasted)
Fortunately the suspension cambers enough on compression to tuck inside the fenders on launch or bumps. I am unable to estimate how much closer to 0 camber I can go before they will strike. When I begin to prepare the car for the track, I will use a ratchet strap on the rack to pull the rear end down and see exactly how much more I can go.
I was going to attempt a 335/345 tire. I can see that with this aggressive of an offset, that is not going to happen, no way. It may work on cars that run more negative camber, there is quite a bit of space on the inside. But at my camber or closer to zero, a 335/345 on a 12" +20 wheel aint happening.

thanks for the info.
i'm on stock suspension and OEM camber/alignment
i'm just looking for better traction, 60' times, and obviously better ET's.
my 12.899 @ 110.74 on street tires and stock suspension etc. just isnt fast enough for me.
i cant believe that you had to grind the calipers for the rota's. my 19's clear the rear brakes so much i would never imagine that 18's would touch.
