Just an update: Rolled my fenders and got an alignment done, no rubbing so far!

I'm on -2 camber all around.

19x9 +12 fronts on 275/35/19 RS3. Rears are 19x11 +18 on 305/30/19 RS3s.

Happy so far, as I thought I had to go -2.5 or so.

I'm glad it worked out. As I tell people, the Z can fit virtually anything, its quite impressive once you attempt it and see whats possible.

Yeah the brand of tires are going to make the difference there. I'm running 19x9.5 +12 up front with same size tires but they are Forehawk Indy 500 and the sidewalls aren't as square and pull in a little - just enough to make that difference. And I've got Nismo flares on so even less clearance than you do.

If you've got adjustable upper control arms you can also dial in a bit more -camber when you do the alignment. Wouldn't take much more if they only rub on bumps.

OptionZero · 09-22-2017, 03:53 PM

with the SPL FUCA, you can do virtually anything up front depending on your effort/comfort level with negative camber

Rolling a fender isn't a big deal if you have any sort of competent shop. Apply heat and pressure gradually and there shouldn't be any damage to your paint.

I agree 275 on a 9 inch rim is wide - i misread your sizes and thought it was a 9.5, thats a bit wide. I'm running 275 on an 11, its a minor stretch.

That's a bit more than minor....🤔

Really it's not, but i suppose you're coming from a different place.

I refer to that place as shitty wheel fitment

oppose to scraping the rim on everything because you have no sidewall protection?

lol,,,i make it a point not to bump curbs.
Also your sidewall comment is off.....lower series tires fit wider wheels better.

MaysEffect,
How stretched would a 305/30 Michelin PSS be on a 19x12" wheel?

equally as much as a 275 on a 11". If i was going to stretch that, i'd put a 305/35 on and not a 30profile.

OptionZero · 09-23-2017, 04:01 PM

Is that a joke? If i scrape my rim on a curb thats would be due to bad driving, not a tire/wheel sizing choice

my wheel fitment is for my own aesthetic. if i'm going to a track, i'm putting on different set of wheels

i'm sure as hell not gonna pick a tire size for "side wall protection"
seems like a pretty simple solution

if you want a different look for your car, cool, whatever your money

but please don't come with "oh no my rim might get scraped up"
