Default 19x10.5 +22 fitment help!

Hello All,

Sorry to create another thread but I wanted a general consensus on how I should proceed. I recently purchased mikellucci's set of CE28s (thanks Mike!): 19x8.5 +27 with 225/35 and 19x10.5 +22 with 255/35.

The fronts fit fine with little rubbing on the bumper tab which I'm most likely going to leave alone for the time being. My rears are rolled but still needs more.

My problem is the rear fitment. The tire currently pokes out a bit too much for my liking:




I tried lowering the rear about a quarter of an inch more to get more stock camber but still too much tire shows. I'm thinking of either:
1. Get Megan Camber arms (I would like to avoid this as much as possible but this can be a very likely option).
2. Get 235/35 or 245/35 in the rear so less tire shows.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for the response! Yeahh I'm leaning towards 245.

Do you have a pic of how your setup looks?

Oh damn! Nice wheels haha

But yeah, that's exactly how I want it to look except just a little bit higher.

I wish I got higher spring rates on my BCs though -_-

Are you running camber kit??

Camber or smaller profile tires will do the trick. But honestly it looks like those tires are already stretched so could just be a higher offset would bring them in pretty nicely. if you go lower you can probably get a bit more natural camber

You think it will look like metaleckz?

I'm gonna try to lower it more first.. If it doesn't work then 245s.. Then maybe camber arms if all else fails

This is with 255... with 245 it came out perfect.


now this is 225 on 9.5... slight stretch. Same stretch as 245 on 10.5

Going with a smaller tire won't change the poke that much just how the tire looks. Getting the upper camber arm will pull it inward enough to have it sitting rite.

Sounds like he's just concerned about the tire.
