I have that setup of 10.5" +22 TE37s in the rear. With Nitto 275/35/19 tires, it would just barely rub in hard cornering. I never heard anything, but I could see markings on the tire where it hit the fender. This was on stock height.

After I lowered the rear about 1.4", it was rubbing pretty badly with cornering. I got my fenders rolled for $50, and the problem was solved. I recently had my rear camber kit installed. With -1.5 degrees in the rear, there's still plenty of clearance. I'll get 285/35/19 Michelins next time.

^^^ Interesting.

I've never really cornered hard, but i've never rubbed on my 285/30's. Where'd you go for your fender roll? Reputable shop? Good work?

I had it done by daytona350z on my350z.com. He does excellent work. He's done several cars, and knows what he's doing. I figured it would cost me about $40 to rent the tool, so for only $10 more, I could have someone do it who's done several before.
