Hmmmmmm.........Marty, what kind of lowering springs did you use? I've heard that I would have to roll the fenders when running that offset. If it was a more positive offset with the wheel being more tucked into the fender, then that would not be an issue. But then again, the face of the spokes would be less concave, which is definitely "not" what I want. (I like concave!) So, if I give it a very slight drop while using the 275's, it will not rub? What about camber issues? Would you need to install camber kits? What about if I ended up replacing these with 285's? Would that rub with the same lowered setup?
Also, I have noticed that even with the stock suspension, it looks like the rear wheels are toeing in ever so slightly. Is that the factory setting? I always thought the factory setting for the wheels would be closer to 0 degrees camber (i.e. completely perpendicular to the flat ground). Just concerned if I need to check for alignment. Although, it drives completely fine. It does not pull to either side much. Some people tell me that an alignment check is not needed UNLESS I change the suspension geometry.
Anyways, another issue was that I was concerned about if I had to load up with rear passengers and some luggage in the trunk, that would load up the rear suspension of the car even more, and therefore further reducing the amount of room (or gap) for suspension travel. If it were to rub, that would potentially scuff the tire and/or wheel lip.
Too many things to worry about. :(
BTW, it must have been a pic of your ride that I've seen somewhere on the net to make me want these exact same wheels. Except your ride is DG while mine is BS. :D
