How well do those tires work? I've been thinking about purchasing a set of 275/30 20. Quiet? How is the comfortability factor? Road tracking?

They're a lot quieter then the tires I had on before, smoother too. Almost all of my driving is on the freeway, 45 minutes to an hour at a time, and they do great

Default Need fitment advice

Hey guys I purchased some new wheels recently AC Supremes 19x9.5 +24 and 19x10.5 +24. I am planning on running a 235/35 and a 245/35 on them. As far as fitment I am currently on stock suspension but have coilovers on the way. I test fitted the wheels and am running a 3mm spacer up front to clear the LS brakes. I will not be slamming it or dramatically cambering it but would like to lower it to the top of the tires (or a bit higher because its a daily) . Below you can see my test fit lowered down on a block of wood. I am uncertain if they will work. Your feedback would be very much appreciated. They look to stick out past the fenders about an inch which I am not fan of. Will they self camber in and work once I lower it with coilovers?

@Lexus777, see SeansLS setup which will look very similar just with a bit wider tire. be aware that depending on your drop height, you may need to do some trimming of the fender arches to prevent rubbing. love the Auto Coutures!!!

Thanks TImmy, I noticed Sean's but after fitting it and noticing the dramatic poke I seem hesitant. So you think it will sit in just fine like Sean's once I lower it then?

correct, there will be some natural negative camber induced when you drop the car, but you need to be just as low as him to be flush with the fenders, as you see in his pictures. as you go up in ride height the wheels will come out, it's just how the suspension geometry acts.

I guess I will lower it to see if I will be keeping these wheels or not. Thanks again Timmy! Hopefully they fit so I can run them. Fingers crossed.
