just run a touch of rear camber. Stock is -1 or -1.5 degrees isn't it? With the camber kit maybe you are literally running no negative camber.

Thanks for the help. I guess ill try to return both the front and rear tires and get 265 and 235. Or at worst just keep the 245 for the front and exchange to get the 265 for the rear.

Biggest issue are the rears, Falken FK452 or Toyo T1r sits nice out back but other brand 275s like Nitto/Hankook sit very aggressive and you will need more negative camber to make it work which we do not recommend. 265s are a great option but a rare tire size and only a few brands make them and are very expensive. 255/30/20 will be stretching a bit, but it is actually not to bad as long as you go with a thick tire like Nitto NT555 which almost don't looked stretched at all.

Here are +25s with 275/30/20 Falken tires. No rear camber kit just H-Tech Drop.

Thanks Diego!! This really helps!! I also checked the official vossen thread for ideas and I will continue to look around for ideas. I really wanted to go with Nitto because of my Front tire being Nitto. Once again, thanks a bunch.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much bad info being given in this post!!!!

Your offsets for the CV3 are fine 20-F 25-R Your tires are what is the problem! You are running a 285MM wide tire on 25MM offset. That is too too wide for our cars.

Just change out your tires I recommend PSS in a Front 240.35.20 -- Rear 275.30.20

This will keep your speed-O within OEM specs.

From what I've heard and seen a 275 won't work with no negative camber. I think 265 would be a better fit.

I've got the same wheels but with 275's. I had to shave down the bumper bracket for it to stop rubbing.

Well I have trimmed all I could of the bracket and I just want to solve this issue for good. I am planning to just get the 265 and be stress free.

I would NOT reccommend 275 on a +25. Not only is it to big but it'll look f-ing ugly! I owed the CV3's with the same offsets. 265/30 were prefect for it. If you want to rock wider tires, get higher offsets, FACT! on my Front +20 offset I went with 235/35. If I did it again, I would do 235/30. My boy had it and it looked better and of course no rub. You can't have the best of both worlds. High offsets = option for wider tires and low offsets = no choice but moderate to extreme stretch.

Ya I am just going to go with the 265/30. All I need to do is go to Discount tire and hopefully they will give me most of the credit back for the 285/30 I have.

Yep, once a tire is considered used they'll screw you big time. Might try selling them in the marketplace here. Don't just give them away to those guys
