Thanks for replying to my post darkside! Yeah I am still on the fence about going with the 11" in the rear. The fronts I know are going to be perfect! 19x9.5 +12 with a 245 tire is spot on. I really liked your stance darkside when you had the 10.5 +15 with a 275. Moddest stretch, great fitment and minimal camber. I REALLY wish I could get a 10.5 but, I've had no luck. Two things holding me back about the 11" is offset and tire size at my current drop. Im sitting .7"F.9"R lower than factory. Is an 11" +15 too much? Or should I go with the +25 that Varrs offers? If I can figure that out then, it's on to tire size. 275 on an 11" is more of a stretch which is fine but, how would that look at my drop? Im sure you are aware of the price difference between 275 and 285 as you more than likely were in a similar spot. Sumatic has been of great help to me thus far. Hearing from someone running the EXACT fitment im looking for just goes that much further.

My car is lowered more than yours and the 19x11 +15 with a 275/35 fit no problem with just a mild fender roll. I never even considered running a 285 tire in the back since I knew the 275/35 would be perfect for my setup and not rub.. If you look at the pics when I had my t1s on the car those were also a 19x11 +15 with the same 275/35 tire on the back just to give u an idea of what it looked like

Cool thanks I'll take a look at pics of the t1s you mention. Im not so much worried about fitting
19x11 +15 or +25. More concerened about the look of a 275 on an 11" and if it would poke to much with such a mild drop.

Wow thanks for the pics Darkside! That looks pretty good. I guess the 275 stretch on an 11" isn't that bad after all. I imagined it to be more stretched looking. I know the tire brand plays a big part in that as well. Whats your rear camber at with the 11" in both the t1s and the Varrs if you don't mind me asking? Is it the same?

okay so you're only .5 out of OE spec camber. You think that it would be ok to get back with in OE spec with the 11" +15? Im at 1.8 now. The only problem I see would be with fender clearance. Easily fixed with a roll though,

it was perfect....usually best to get it put on when it is hot like the summer because the vinyl goes on alot easier and smoother....even though mine was put on during winter time it went well....i liked how it looked but i just got over having so much black on my car
