My previous set of wheels were VS-XX's 19'' 9.5 +45, it's what was recommended by tirecentral, and rightfully so because I couldn't make it rub if I tried. The extra traction got me into 8.5's consistently in the 1/8th with full tanks of gas and PSI which is a huge plus. Also with less then 1000 miles, I don't want to throw them away on here for 50 bucks a piece.

I cant just go spend 800 bucks on new tires either when I have a 18 units to pay for next semester which I quit my job to do. lol I'm so screwed.

its bc of our rear sway bar! plus I installed my old chasis brace! so the rear doesn't flex. The chasis stays flat there for at an angle, the one side comes up!

Your tires are way to meaty and you need to roll and pull your fenders slightly. +22 will fit perfectly at that ride height with no rubbing issues.

It's not that. He just want to be "cool" on his car forum. Instead of contributing, he pollutes. Oh well.

Like I said before, I knew it wouldn't work, just not this bad.

I hope your WTT ad works. Worst case is I would use a CC if you have one, if not try to take out a loan. I rather pay some interest then be in a position that could mesh up the car even more and have a bigger repair bill.

Like everyone has said, your tires are way too meaty. I don't know if it will fit with just a shave I think you will need a pull if you want to fit with those tires. The best thing you can do is get some 245/35 in the rear and get that money back by selling the 275.
