Do you have a pic of the rear wheels on?
I'm getting 265/30 to 11" wheel too (ET20 though) and I'd like to see how much it'll stick out with stock height and camber.

I'll post a picture later today but it's going to stick out a little less than the front.

I'm still waiting to get the brackets from LRD. He said they shop that makes them should have them ready for tomorrow. So I'll probably test fit them over the weekend.

Looks like I'm going to have to adjust the camber quite a bit

Shave and pull is a must..... I may sell these and get something with a less aggressive offset

The fronts will be fine with just rolling, the rears you will need to shave and pull it slightly. The only reason they stick out so much is because your car hasn't been lowered; due to our suspension type, the wheels will naturally camber in more the lower the car is.

Do you think it will camber in a lot? I don't want to be running through tires like crazy

Yeah, a decent amount. If you're worried about tires then just make sure your toe is in spec.
