Wow, you're on to bigger and better things.. good luck to you as well.

I know but I get nervous since the sport wheels are 10" wide and the spec for the 305s are 10.5-11.5"

I'm looking to do the same specs with my sport wheels. Ive read that the pss run wider than the other brands, is this going to matter? Like for example the tread width is like 1.5inch wider than bridge stone s04s Are there pictures of sport wheels with PSS installed I've been looking but could only find pictures installed of other brands.

I have 265/35/19 and 305/30/19, the wheel specs are 19x9.5 +20 19x11 +15.

Looks awesome, perfect color combo. With your setup, how is the tire wear with those SPL rear camber arms? I'm looking to go lower on Swift springs and I'll be running the same tires (S04s) and sizes as well (265s & 305s). Spacers too, probably F-20mm, R-25mm. I was just researching camber kits... SPC vs. SPL.

I can't comment on tire wear yet...265/35 & 305/30 S-04's go on tomorrow. I'm running Swifts with 15mm/20mm spacers. I put an AMS front and rear camber kit on today. Everything fit perfect, nice kit for the money. Came with A arms, camber arms, & traction arms. The main reason I went AMS is the front camber can't slip. Can't wait to get back in alignment and put the meats on. I'll post a pic after...

I havent experienced too much tire wear. Im at -2.4 degrees because im on stock toe bolts and i cant get toe to were i want it if i go more positive on the camber. I also do check my alignment very often because im a tech and have access to the rack after work. With that said the bridgestones i had on my sport wheels have 10,000 miles on them and id say 6000 of those were with the springs already installed and they looked fine.

Concave vs lip; which looks better with wide tires?

No right answer, all comes down to personal preference

Easier to clear bigger brakes on a concave setup and easier to clean than a big lipped wheel but not everyone likes the look
