What is the offset? a 275 is a little too much in my opinion. Try a 245/255 depending on the offset.

Look at this page - For the front tire scroll down to the last pict on the page:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...derings-4.html

FIGS is running 255/35/19 up front and 305/30/19 in back. I'm running 245/35/19 in front and 285/30/19 in back on stock wheels. However, for wider tires to work, attention must be paid to offset.

Track guys are running 285s on all four corners. It can be done with the right offsets.

Are you running spacers?
Rolled fenders?
Camber plates with more camber?

No doubt, camber plates will solve all your problems.

Seriously, does anyone know what camber plates do to a double wishbone suspension?
