305 rear tire camber?

TBatt · 02-19-2016, 03:58 PM

After doing tons of research I'm planning on new wheels and tires and have decided to go with 19x9.5 +20 with 265/35/19 tires on the front and 19x11 +18 with 305/30/19 on the rear. I've seen several cars with this setup and it looks killer. I do not plan on lowering the car because I have already had encounters with dips in the roads at stock height.

With that wide of a rear tire should I also change the camber setting to get a little flatter stance to reduce inside tire wear?

If so, will the stock suspension allow enough adjustment range or will I also need rear camber arms?

Thanks for your opinion. Great forum!

not sure how the offset will change it but on my car with stock sport rays and stock suspension i run 305's without change to alignment. that alone took out probably 75% or more of the awful inside tire wear that i saw on my 275 tires.

My camber is -1.75 with the 345's. you could do -1.25 to -1.5 and be fine.

DEpointfive0 · 02-19-2016, 11:02 PM

You could do 0 camber and be fine, you ideally want to be around .5-1.5

I'm at 0, I love it

Fantastic, have you seen how much the 370Z squats while on the power?

DEpointfive0 · 02-22-2016, 10:37 PM

DEpointfive0 · 02-23-2016, 12:22 AM

That is stock suspension/alignment and 275 rears. Need a new pic with the 305s and see the difference.

305 will make it worse, lol

I think the car handles just fine with my 7.5 degrees of caster and close to no rear camber, lol
