Have a Question/s About Wheels/Tires/Offsets/Camber/Etc? Ask here::

Lol. It's all up to you - how much camber do you want to run? or rather since you aren't getting front camber arms, how much are you dropping from stock height? from there I can closely estimate how much natural camber you'll have, and give you widths/offsets from there.
I forgot one of your questions was why I went with +4/+6. +4 up front because it's the lowest offset I could do and stay within oem camber. right now, I'm at +2 at -1.4. I wouldn't have minded doing the same with my new wheels, but I had no choice. I'll be running just -1* in the front with the new wheels. 10.5 +6 in the rear because it will require nearly the exact same amount of camber which I like. I hate big differences in camber front to rear, looks off. I'm at 10.5 +3 right now at -1.5*. the new offsets will be -1* just like the front. that's why I went with those offsets.
ambiguous, who I just helped with his offsets, went with +2, +0, IIRC. those offsets will have him run the max amount of suggested camber via the manual/infiniti (-1.4 and -1.8).
keep in mind, you can manipulate the amount of camber you run to get within a certain amount. like, I could've gone 9.5/10.5 et -5 all around (or just whatever the next lip size offsets were, this is just an example), and do a 7-8mm pull front, 5mm pull rear and still be within oem specs. I just didn't want to do any fender pulling - that's just me.

I'm thinking I want to be like you, natural camber, but I want lips... So, there's an issue there. I'll get camber arms for the back, but no camber arms up front is my only thing(at least not at the moment). I want to lower the car to the top of the tire tread on 20" 35 stretched --- havnt measured how much of a drop that will be. Happen to know? How much natural camber will that equal)). I would like as close to 3.5"front/5" lips rear with r disk front for the brembos... Looking at the gnosis hs201's reverse no step lip

What widths and size wheels? 20 or 19 & 9.5/10.5 or 10/11? Is he pulling his fenders at all or are those offsets good for just a flat roll?
Thanks again, Drew, really helping me out!

I actually thought you may have been getting at that after I hit post lol
In that case, they are pretty much identical. The 255 will be a hair larger but really not much.
Best way to go about that is dropping the tread width a little and upping the profile. For example instead of 255/30 run 235/35 or 245/35.
But if you're just trying to avoid bends and cracks just make sure your tire pressure is always on point.

Well, you can have some thick *** tires, but can still bend rims. Am I still not getting your point?

If the guys in Los Angeles can run 225/35s on 10s, and never bend their Works(Im guessing what you have via sig)/Volks/any other forged wheel form daily driving, I wouldn't worry about what I run - especially something with 20mm more. Just drive smart, and keep track of your tire pressure*.

i currently have 225/35/20 on my 9.5 and i really don't like how it stretches anymore.
so i was thinking a 245/30/20 will not be AS stretched.

you're right... i never really thought about how rims can bend even with thick tires.
thanks again guys, i'll make sure my pressure is on point with whatever i decide to go with.
