What I mean by decent negative camber is having your tires angled inwards.

I would run a 265/30 in the rear to be safe on the rubbing, Thats the size i am running on my 19s and they still ride like OEM with Tanabe springs. I promise you sir they will look amazing!

You could, but a 275 is still a wide tire, a 265 is nothing extreme by any measure in the stretch world, it will just give you a little breathing room over large bumps and when you pack the rear seat with girls cause your stance is going to be off the hook!

For the price they are a clean looking wheel! Almost exact replicas of Asantis for 1/3rd the price. If I didnt get my Works for the deal I did, I probably would have jumped a set to!

Yup, oh well, at the price of those wheels, it'd be easier to just replace the wheel! haha

Some people are against any form of stretch, I am sure you are not going to be autocrossing your car or taking it to the track any time soon. FK-452s were built to be stretched a little and The only difference you will notice between a 265 and a 275 on your car is better appearance and more clearance.
