you're going to have to do alot more than shaving the fender's to make the rear work.

I think you will be good I'm running 19x11 +25 and i have -3 camber and shaved fenders and I'm good i don't rub. So i don't think you'll have much of an issue.

Thank you for the info! But you're on 19's.. I'm pretty sure it'll make a big difference

I also think the rear is too wide. I'm running 20x11 with a 245/35/20 I ended up having to widen the body by 1" just to make them fit. Not sure of my Offsets though but you will for sure need some major fender work.

that has to be some crazy off set becuase the difference from a 20x11 to 19x11 is almost nothing and im good on mine

I'm on 20x11 + 35 w/ 275-30 with fenders shaved to the max and still rubs occasionally on dips, so I'm pretty sure you'll rub for sure or maybe you can get away w/ extremely stretched tires with more than -5 camber or major fender pull and repair.

I'm planning to stretch 255's and run some camber.. Have to wait for the wheels first and I'm going to go from there. Thanks for the info!
