Default Help!

Ok so I have an 05 gs300 lowered on tein ss coilovers dropped about half way. Last fall I purchased a set of MRR HR3 wheels 20x8.5 +35 front and 20x9.5 +40 rear. The rear tires chewed up and popped in 2 months. My camber was very negative at the time but I think that my toe could have been a bigger contributing factor. The wheels cam with a 245/30zr/20 up front and 275/30zr/20 out back. I plan on putting these wheels back on the car but need a little help with how to correct this issue. I plan on getting my fenders rolled all the way around to start. Would I need to purchase any camber or toe kits like the FIGs toe links? Also i bout a set of 275/30zr/20 pirelli pzero nero to replace the worn tires. Should I be running a smaller tires in the rear like a 255? If anyone could give me a little advice on what will work it would be much appreciated. Also if i should add some spacers aswell.

What's your alignment like? Both negative camber and horrendous toe will wears your tires unevenly.

Has the car been properly aligned? If not don't start throwing parts at in until you have that done.

did you get an alignment when you got the coils installed? it really messes up your alignment when you get them installed. imo, you should get toe links and camber kits. you wont want your tires to wear out quickly again. and the offsets for the mrr hr3's aren't aggressive so im pretty sure you dont need to do any fender mods.
