8.5+22 9.5+22 is popular.
9.5+22 10.5+22 on the other hand is not

the more aggressive runners are the same group for almost the last year.

im running 20x9 +36 and 20x10 +32
so i tried a 10mm spacer with my 255/35s in the back but it would rub too much as expected. but this is what it looked like

so i got a 245/30 rear with a 15mm spacer and it works but i need another degree or so of camber to cave the top in so it doesnt hit on bigger dips

what do u think? to me it looks nice however...i really hate how skinny that tire is. my question is if i went with a 245/35 and a 10mm spacer and dropped it some more to get more camber would it work?? also would it be weird if i left the front 225/30 or should i go like 215/35 in the front as well?

i already told you what to do, your going to get the same answer from me, or any of the other guys that would suggest tire sizes. stop trying to run aggressive setups, if you dont want the fender work. i daily drive one 225/40's on 18x10.5 in the front, and 265/35's on 11.5's with over 2.5"s of pull. go big or go home. i used to tuck 19x9.5+15 in the back of my IS on natural camber with a 235/35. all static

because i doubt you ever rubbed as much as i have
18x10+4 225/40 18x12+4 265/35

With a slight pull on it you will be able to make it fit, i'm running 19x10.5+22 on a 265/30.

lol well ive already pulled and rolled fenders! im not really scared of running stretched tires...i just dont like how skinny that 30series is...it leaves too big of a gap between the tire and the fender on the sides...u cant really tell in the pics. but mv said a 245/35 falken with a 10mm spacer rather than 15mm should be ok so i already purchased two tires and well see how it goes
