Watch it on more neg camber.
You'll still rub bad when digging in a turn while loosing the negative on that side in a turn.
Been there done that bro...
But give it a shot first I guess.

G/L and give us an update.

Update: raised ride height all around, dialed in additional negative camber. no more rubbing, but no more slammed

Looks good Pat. I'm surprised you can't go lower though.

^^ yeah, the rear is about as low as it can go. I may lower the fronts a little more

The rear rubs whenever the road is bumpy.

Your rear is about the same height as mine, and mine rubs occasionally with my 285's

possibly on the rear, I'm a little hesitant to roll the rear more myself. a local tuner shop rolled it for me. I rolled the fronts more so than the factory roll, and while it served its purpose, I think I went a little overboard and flared it out too much.

Have you tried just driving it lowered and overtime the tire to fender will rub itself out?

I did this along time ago with a car of mine back in the day with agressive offset.

Your car looks real nice with those rims and tires as you have it setup now.

It looks like it'd barely rub, just roll the fender a lil more of adjust the camber slightly!

I may be running stretched tires for my next set of tires so that I can get more clearance and slam it again

put the front back down, it doesnt look right that high. The rear height is fine for now. an additional half degree of camber would help stop the rubbing, and like others said, flatten the fenders if they're not already.

If you're going to stretch the tires on your next set, run a 265/35, you'll gain an extra 5mm of clearance from the tire to fender if you go with the same brand/model tire.

a 245/40 would be perfect for 10.5. if u dont want to run so much camber, 245/40 may also let u dial out some neg camber.
