shave the rears and you should be good, but it doesnt look like the camber has been messed with, more could be added still. I am alot lower with the same wheels. my tires are alot more stretched, with 20mm in front and 25mm adapters in the rear. My car barely rubs now. Maxed out stock camber, 100% stock front fenders. shaved and sleightly pulled reares.

To run a more aggressive offset you have to stretch tires to fit good. Im running a 205/35 on a 9 inch rim and a 215/35 on a 10 inch rim. Havent had any problems at all. The car rides better than before I put the new wheels on but I like a stiffer tire than with a stock wheel and tire.

This tire stretching is just a Fad, made for looking Dope at Parking lots while waiting for your 16yr girlfriend to come out of chucky cheese.

205 is even worse.. Not sure what your comparing your ride to but it i will guarantee it does not "ride" as it should. and please dont use the drifters do this all the time excuse.

Judging by your last sentance your not one for a modified vehicle. So your opinion on this topic is completely irrelevant. If he wanted to keep a stock ride or a stock appearance he would have kept it stock. This threads not about how it rides or handles. I could care less whagt the "drifters" do, i did it so that i could get my car the way I wanted and i couldnt be happier with it. Im not going to go with a different tire. Im judging my opinion on what my vehicle used to ride like, and what my vehicles in the past with non stretched tires rode like. My car still handles great around the corners and doesnt have any loss of traction. Considering my lexus is fairly stock aside from the drop and wheels the traction really isnt a problem or an issue.

most people here do not understand the whole load index n how much a tire can hold... most likely with 215 youll be exceeding the max cap of the tire.
if it looks good why not right?
just you cant claim warranty or any damage to the vehicle if the tire explodes killing your fam bam or you. Odds of that happening are uber low tho so yea.
