Thanks guys I'll let you know the specs 2morow after my alignment sighh pretty sure my front is more cambered in then my rear but the shot doesn't show it due to my drive way angle, had to change my front tyres today ate through my Falken 452's in less then 5 months daily use and air wasn't holding in anymore because the tyres were so bald =/ trying out a cheaper crappier brand called Achilles this time though which are apparently crappy in the wet but the stretch is nice. The price for tyres here in Australia are just ridiculousy expensive compared to you guys in the states!

Make sure its your toe thats within spec. Even with bad camber, 5 months is pretty fast to be going thru tires. Its probably your toe that is bad. thats what happen to my old tires until i fixed the toe.

So got the alignment done today Camber = Rear -4 front -3 the guy said he wasn't happy with my alignment got a lecture on tyre size etc like usualbut anyways they cambered in a tad more to help with the rubbing, my front left wheel looks totally off compared to the right n looks crap now the stance defiantly isn't as aggressive but a lot less rubbing now defs need to invest in a 235/35/20 or 245/30/20.

you might be right on the limit of clearance on the inside of the fenders, but that set-up should be fine for daily driving.

Getting 19x8.5 +25 225/30/19 and 19x9.5 245/35/19 Is this a good stretch if I plan to dump my car? I don't have a camber kit, but I'm going to do some aggressive fender work. Should I run 35 profile on the front too or are 30's fine?

if the tires came with the car, might as well run them until you can go w/ 35-series tires.

you might throw off your odometer by a handful of miles, but it shouldn't be anything too serious.

traction control won't like those tire sizes, though - especially with u-turns.
