What's the minimum camber in the rears you think you can get away with to fit 17x10 +45's 255/40 starspecs?
Fenders rolled flat and bumper tabs been relocated.

Since Star Specs run slightly narrower than my R888's, I'd say depending on your drop maybe around -2 to -2.5 in the rear. I'm at about -3 in the rear now.

what side wall size are people running with a 275?

Tire calculator says best fit for stock is 275/30/18 for the rear but no one makes that tire size only 275/35/18

Diameter Difference is 2.82%

Rear wheel is 18x10.5 +30 offset
Front wheel is 18x9.5 +30 offset

255/35/18 on the fronts

what do you guys think?

^That offset seems WAY low with that width, even with overfenders. I would say you would want more like a 50+ to run a 285/30/18 which is the same diameter as stock...or a 295/30 and a 255/35. Actually, both offsets are pretty low..
