Really nice ArodDaLob. Do you still have the 255's out back?

I never mounted the wing, just mocked it up because I keep planning on working on the fiberglass and painting it but i keep getting distracted with other stuff.
the rack's working perfectly though, thanks man!

and yep, I'm still rollin on the 255's, I would go 265, buuuut i'm broke. I'm just happy I'm able to run that size with -1.5 camber on my 18x10+22 wheels with absolutely no annoying rubbing

I skimmed through your blog, did you have to do anything else besides hitting the inner fender to fit the 255's? I have the same wheels and I'm going with Federal 255's. I'm trying to get to fit with minimal camber out back.

^Federal Tires run pretty big so that 255 your getting might end up being close to a 265

Yea I wouldn't recommend Federals. I had them in a 255/35/18 and they were huge! I sold them to my friend who put them on an 18x12.

For the fender, all I did was angle grind down the fenders, pound down the bump with a metal mallet, and shave the fender again. 255's probably would've still rubbed, but back when I dropped my rear subframe, I changed out the ruca's to tc sportlines (you can do a search, but they don't really have a good rep) and had Alex at BattleVersion shorten my rlca's, both of which effectively pulled the hubs in, allowing for a bit more tire to fit without camber

I wouldn't stray away from federal 585s just because of their sizes, though. Just order a size smaller i.e. run 245's instead of 255's and you'll be fine.
