Oh yeah, running -3 camber all around now.

For the front, the inside is going to be more of an issue then the outer clearance. 285/30 would be the right choice, but you may very likely need to run a spacer up front, 5mm is the max you can go with on factory studs. A lower offset in the +40 range would actually be better insurance, but then you couldn't rotate to rear. You may want to reduce a little camber up front as well, as you may have further issues hitting the inside under suspension compression. So these are all options/issues to consider.

If you think about it, you have increased your front fenders to 30mm wider and left rear stock, you cant expect to run the same widths and offset front to back with the sizes that aggressive. You either need a different offset up front or a narrower rim width, but a narrower rim width at same offset would be pointless on wider front fenders. And if you max out front and rear, your going to end up with a 60mm wider track width up front compared to the back, if anything its preferred to run more track width in back, but a little, not 60mm worth. Maybe you should consider a functional rear over fender for the back since you pulled the trigger on the fronts already?

You bring up a very good point that I forgot about (track difference between front and back). May.have to rethink having a a narrower front width wince I really do not want to run over fenders

think this might give perspective on my rear fenders. Setup goes as follow:

18x8 +48 front with 25mm spacer, 225/40/18 brigdestone re760 sport, front downforce fenders
18x9 +55 rear, 275/40/18 bridgestone tires, don't remember model number

hard to picture since it's not sitting on flat ground.

not sure if this helps with giving insight to how "rolled" my rear fenders are

Here you go, DTP525 is the guy I was thinking of:




I do not recall his exact specs, but I'm pretty certain he's running at least 285's all around. He's also running Downforce front fenders.

^^ I was going to chime in until I saw you post a pic of my car.

I've ran 295 squared with the CCWs. With -3° camber in the front and DF fenders, I was able to get a 295 tire to clear in the front on a 11in wheel.

A 295 does not clear in the rear without a little tire self clearancing at -2.7° camber. My rear specs are 11.5 on the wheels while my fronts are 11.

Its all relative though, different tires brands run different widths. I'm also running 900lb springs rates and the car is not exactly slammed either.

I don't know the offsets to my wheels, I just know the backspacing specs.

I've seen pictures of your car and (re)fell in love with the monoblock ccw's. Very nice setup! Been wanting CCW's, but just can't justify the purchase at this point. I appreciate the feedback on sizing What suspension are you on, DTP? sounds like my src spring rates.
