Contemplating getting rid of my 18" ccw's for a set of ssr type c's, the rears are17x9.5 +42 which I know is easily doable and likely about where I'm at now regarding poke. I am boosted and don't want anything narrower than a 255 and don't want to run 3' of camber to fit a meaty tire. Anyone have experience with these specs or similar?

 

Well yeah, this puts you at a 255 tire and -3 camber. More tire or less camber puts you in a higher offset realm.

 

I have that exact wheel spec using a 255 tire. No rubbing.

My fenders and rolled and slightly pulled. Running 2 degrees of camber and about a 2" ride height drop as well.

Only picture I have. This was with 1 degree of camber and I didn't rub unless I hit a big pot hole. Added camber and it was all good

 

What kind of tires were you running?

 

Rears are 255/40/R17 RE-11A's pretty much brand new when I took this pic
