Been running AD08s and Star specs...

But they don't make them any bigger than 255 in 17"

I upped to a 17 x 9.5 +38 on spoon fenders

If you want a race alignment with an un-staggered setup, you can go as much as -3 camber front, and a little bit (~1/8" total) of toe-in on the rear. Basically, that gives you more front grip when the suspension is under load, and the toe in will help with the rear coming around.

I'm curious how did you get -3 camber up front without a camber kit? I maxed out my front with -2.6.

As low as dnpbakon is, it's easy.
