I have SPL camber arms right now.....
Check that.... Rear camber arms only.... So I should be good with the 265/305 setup then right?

265 will possibly be okay. I ran 275 with a 27 offset. your 265 would stick out 2mm more which shoooould be fine. But the problem is, depending on the tire you buy.. some are wider than others despite still being 265.

Yup, the ones with the "Rim Protectors" on it will bulge out farther at the top and square up the tread and the sidewall causin the tire to sit wider where as the ones without the rim protector will curve more naturally giving you more clearance.

not 100% true. the conti DW i had, had rim protectors, but they were towards the bottom, not near the tread. It gave the tire an almost roundish look. But because of that it worked well.

My set of michelin pilot super sports were just under $1700 shipped. They are 255/35/19 & 295/30/19.

Thorazine_IM · 02-02-2013, 05:02 PM

what do you guys think about toyo proxes tires?

christian370z · 02-06-2013, 05:11 PM

I got my 265/285 RE-11s on sale from Tirerack for $1500, plus another $100 for install at a local shop. When it comes to tires, you go cheap and end up with tires that don't perform well in one way or another or you do it right and have tires you are much happier with in my experience.

Tombonombona · 02-07-2013, 03:04 PM

Have 20x10.5 in front with 275/35 super sports and 20x11.5 with 315/35 in rear

You should try discount tires. They beat just about anybodys price.
