Im gona get flamed for asking you about correcting camber lol
i know most of you guys are doing stretched. yes im going against what you guys like lol which is to correct the camber! the hell with the stance i want or even having a stretched tire. ill figure out a stance once the wheels get mounted on the car! I did test my rear rim (20x10.5+29) on with the 275/30 and it fit pretty well with a little camber. So i guess 10MM more wouldnt hurt it with corrected camber and complete fender shave.im gona go 245/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 in the rear that way at least i know im not stretched.
I want even treadwear in the front and rear meaning i want to correct my camber. So this is a new topic i talking about now. i just edited my old post! i know i might get flamed about correcting my camber here lol but who would know more about cambering then the vip guys! so i decided to just reedit this post and not make another.
im picking up some nexen n3000 in those sizes above for 540..goot price ...yes??? LoL
on a 01 gs300 i think i was told from SW alignment that the gs has its own camber adjustments. So i guess what i need to know is would i need a new camber kit to correct the camber or can the stock camber adjustment fix that. if no one knows its fine.
if this post doesnt make much sense to you please specify what doesnt make sense so i can better explain myself. Im still a newb to all this!! :(
Im just trying to have even tread wear on all tires so i can have a nice extended life out of the tire.

so you bought wheels that required a stretch at the same drop you want on the same car and now you don't want to stretch?
"no two bodies can occupy the same space at the same time"
meaning if you don't want to stretch the tire to clear the fender you need to roll/pull the fenders to clear the tire. or camber. or a combination of both.
doesn't sound like you thought this out at all.

o i thought it through and i did research it! some people arnt runing a stretch with these wheels! previous owner of MY wheels currently has a 275 ont the rear and a 255 on the front, but his car wasnt dropped much. i mean im expecting some sort of stretch with the 235/35 in the front and most people are runn a 255 on the rear! and its slamed! so i figure i run a 265 and camber it a little!! to clear the rear fender im already completely shaving the rear! if i cant get the same stance i will just delete all the wheel gap

i know i posted on cl about this, but since it has a 275 on there might as well do a test fit. im pretty sure youll need to run a 245 but im not posative. just shave them down then fit them.

Truthfully, you won't achieve full flushness w/o some stretch and spacing (unless wheels have adequate offset), you'll just end up tucking...nuttin wrong wit it, but ppl like flushness.

I'm gonna tell you the silver GS that you want the similar stance on has 255 tires for the rears. His GS is his DD too. Like what I've said on other forums 235 front, 255 rears. make up your mind already. :p

I think you need to put your wheels on your car and just look at it.
Then decide what tire you need.

FWIW, I like sandwiches.
Also, without some stretch, you just can't get them really "flush."

Would a mere fender shave be enough for a 20 x 10.5 +18 in the rear?
