Well thats just super... lol. Hopefully removing the bumper tab will solve my issue or doing a combination of that and 35 aspect ratio vs 40. I really don't want to spend the money (now) on a set of coil overs or konis to control the dampen rate.

You could just buy camber arms

Its not in a turn but when I go over any halfway decent sized bump. I think its hitting the tab that holds the bumper in the wheel well. I already rolled the fenders and am only lowered on swift springs. Any advise here?

I ordered a quick release so I can remove the tab and am about to order some 35 aspect ratio tires. But if someone has words of wisdom i'm all ears.

I'm running a 10 wide up front with +18 offset. Fitment is absolutely spot on with -2 camber. What is your camber setup up front?

You would need to get more camber in front, on stock height there is no issues, but lowered you will need -3, -2.5 if fender rolled. I am lowered and don't have any issues with -2.7 front camber and around an inch gap between tire and fender.

With SPL FUCA I am able to get -3.2 and I am lowered an inch. I have no issues running 18x10.5 +30 or +15 and 275 35 tires. I also run a 18x11 +18 with a 315 30 tire and no problems so far.

Now I am on -3.2 with 285/30/18, not a tall tire so no issues, I used it with 275/40/18 and -2.7 without issues, there was a little rub when I turn too hard at track, happened twice only. With 275/35/18 there shouldn't be any problem at all even without any negative camber.

Jmatchley86 · 04-25-2019, 09:21 PM

thanks for all of the info. I'm not sure what my camber is honestly. don't remember where the sheet is but I can get it done this weekend and adjust it to what yall are saying.

cossie1600 · 04-26-2019, 12:41 PM

275 35 18 is definitely fine, 285 35 18 works too

Heck I ran 295 35 19 and that rubbed

Jmatchley86 · 04-28-2019, 07:55 PM

Fixed the issue! The rubbing was on the tab where the bumper was mounted just underneath the head light. I used a quick release (push style vs band) and removed the tab.

Rubbing is completely gone and i didn't need to mess with camber or go to a different aspect ratio on tires. So you can use a +15 10.5 wheel if you want to do quite a few other things.

Which 19x 10 wheels do you have and what is the offset?

obender66 · 07-12-2019, 10:33 AM

Sorry if it was discussed before- did anyone try rear 18x9 wheels in the front?
I use stock 18" with 245/40 and 275/35.

Hi - WHAT WHEELS ARE THOSE?

OptionZero · 12-09-2021, 06:48 PM

Who are you talking to

DeusExMaxima · 12-11-2021, 08:36 PM

Howz about running a square set of 350z Track edition wheels? Under 19 lbs each and cheap to get.

OptionZero · 12-11-2021, 11:35 PM

350z track wheels are 18x8.5 +33

Thats too weak a size

Most track folks here run 18x10.5 or 11, +15 to 20something
