thats what i'm worried about
lots of potholes in LA and OC cali

Once the camber was corrected, I no longer had that problem, save for the extreme dips.
What does correcting the camber have to do with bottoming out?

since potholes are a big problem, go with the 275/35. or 285/35 with a minimal drop.

i am running 285/35/19 bfg kdw2 on my ssr d5r with a 30 offset in the rear. also i'm lowered about 1.5 inches and they just fit. i have a camber problem so when i install my camber kit (kinetix or spc) i'm going to roll my fender for sure. when it come down to it depend on your offset.

I ordered 285/35's for my 10.5 rears. I am lowering with Z Tein H-Tech springs and will roll the rear fenders, as well.

depending on the tires, you can cover the lip up.

however, imho i'd run a 275/30 to make it look nicer. not as bulgy/swamper looking. everyone has their preferences.

DO NOT get Nittos.

Whats wrong with Nittos ??
