Thanks for the advice! There's no way around on adjusting my camber back to - 2 with 285s. Either I get different wheels or stretch it a little. My air is set at 36 cold psi. I'm not sure if I would want it any lower than that due to the tire being low profile already..

i live in San Francisco so i really need alot of air to protect the wheel against potholes and whatever the road has haha.
my SC review turned into a wheel and camber thread

Nice...
Wow Weiboy718... Congrats on the SC You license plate should read ONEBADG
Very Nicely done... Was hoping for a shot of the engine bay PLEASE Just read the whole thread...
Hope you find the right camber/tire/wheel mix for a bit more grip, you'll
certainly be pushing those limits.
< I'm as GREEN as this dude...
Best of Luck...

20x10.5 + 32 offset. i think my offsets are alot lower than what i originally ordered lol. i've seen others ran + 30 on the same width without too much camber and they all have no complaints but me i'm rubbing like a **** even after i trimmed,shaved and cambered in and still rubs lol.

Example:
These are both stacks of 4 255/40/17 tires, but one is obviously a LOT wider than the other.
The typical "stretch" tires (T1R, FK452) are fairly skinny, even in their 275 sizes. Stick on an identical size PS2 or Rosso, and the fitment won't be the same.
You might wanna pick up some 18's or 19's as a "performance" set for when you know you're gonna want extra traction.

Lol.. Now all we gotta do is meet so I can check your ride. I might be in SF in about a month.
What Mikes saying about different rubber being different thicknesses even though the same size is definately true.
I went from having a 275.30 Hankook V12 to a 275.30 Falken FK452. I can't believe how much more stretched it looks now compared to the V12s.

i'm using the yoko s drives right now and i know they have a pretty thick sidewall and that might be the reason why too. i might give another chance to FK452 again or try out the Hancock next
do you think i'm kidding? i know you wanna change up for awhile already lol

Yeah, wish you would have told me about skinny they are before I switched... but seriously, I've been pretty happy with my FK452's and I was actually getting less traction with my V12's (however they were a bit worn on the inside 
)
For sure bro.. sorry about turning your S/C thread into a tire, camber and fitment thread.. LOL.. but hopefully it will help you keep that extra WHP on the pavement.
I say give the FK452's a chance, cause with your suspension youre gonna need all the "stretch" you can get!
)sure! let me know when you're coming up here. we can meet up and we can hang out for a bit.

Remember my gold wheels? Those were stretched on FK452. Only problem with that tire is the inside wears out way too fast. Within a month of use the inner tire are close to gone. That's why I didn't go back to FK452 and went with S Drives. So far the wear is minimal. Pretty good tires for the price.
It's all good, I'll leave the wheels alone.
