Proper research on wheel specs and lowering could have prevented all that.

Would a 245/35 look ok for a 11in rim? Im thinking of going 225/35/20 on a 9 and a 245/35/20 on an 11

^ the stretch you posted is going to be really uneven.. Thats a really aggressive stretch in the rear and the front is pretty mild. As for looking "OK" it will look awesome, but always remember to try and keep your stretches similar or it looks like poo poo kaka

Hate the damn winter
I ran +17 on a 10" with little to no camber and a very mild roll and it still cleared.... on a sedan.



Bokchoi, better idea is to buy wheels that aren't XXRs and buy manly wheels like Ronals.

Stretch on the right sizes, not something that sorta works.

Will this setup fit a coupe without pulling the fender? 19x9.5 -17 (225/35) & 19x10.5-18 (245/35) with just shy of -4.0 camber.

More camber & a fender pull I'm guessing is the correct answer...

To help you out, I used to be at 10.5 -10 in the rear without a pull running -4.5 camber, with a pull it'll def fit

This is 20x9.5 -20 and 20x10.5 -17 IIRC 225/35 and 245/35 Camber is at roughly -6

And you can clearly see how much I pulled.

he just switch to smaller tires and that pretty much IS his ride height now....

Jeff is one crazy ****er, he bottoms out almost as much as I do. We were cruising on the hwy and started hearing a flapping, turned out to be his 1 month old carbon splitter.


More recent pics with the 225/30 and 245/30 combo.
