Quick question: Is it possible to run a 19x10 ET 42 wheel on front?
Or does it rub on the inner side/ coilovers?

My rear tires are hitting the inside of my trimmed/shaved fenders by less then 1/4 inch on both sides, more like 2-3 mm or 1/8 of an inch. I have a factory alignment right now, lowered on coilovers. The wheel rubs the fender when I hit bumps.

Question #1. How much negative camber can we get out of our factory suspension?

Question #2. Will this added negative camber help me clear the 1/8 - 1/4 needed from the inside of my fender?

Thanks!

We can get a good amount of camber with the factory adjustment. My friend was able to get -7 with his drop lol. But yes you could add a little but of camber and get rid of your rubbing issue. Just keep the tow at 0.

Got an alignment and went with -4.5 in the rear and as close to zero toe as possible... STILL rubbing.... going down two sizes in the rear to a 245/40/18 Michelin PS2

If the offsets are right on the CCWs, like +40 or so, you can get away with a 275+ tire. Just call CCW and tell them what tire size you want to run and they will build the offset in accordingly.

I have 235/35 on 9.5 and 245/35 on a 10.5 +22 front and rear, this is how it sits

OK, so here's whats going on.....I'm currently running a set of XXR 527s 17x9.75 +25 while my 18x10 521s are getting new tires. I'm really liking the look of the 527s, but want to get away from the knockoff wheels.

Work Emotion XD-9s, 18x10 on all 4 corners...what would be the closest offsets to the 9.75"s +25? Work's website says the emotion XD-9s come with a +38 and +18.

Thanks!
