With the car being on air a 225/245 would be ok, but not on coils and fitting the wheel properly... You wont fit that big of a tire. I test fitted a 245... No bueno.

Correct, but generally speaking. No brand tire will stretch a 245 enough for you to properly fit a 10.5. Generally speaking, the only difference when it comes to tires being different would be the profile & sidewall stiffness. *GENERALLY* all widths are very close to the same.
Mr. Doback is doing a 245 on a 11.5 in the rear and a 225 on a 10.5 in the front. But obviously his fenders are not stock.

Ride height isn't the biggest concern...
When I air down with the ASC680 when the car is parked......wondering when it's dumped, whether the rear tire will hide with factory adjusted camber, or if a camber kit is necessary?
It's not that I don't want to buy a camber kit, it's just that I don't really like the super crazy camber movement, but natural looking camber is good with me. If I do land on these wheels, and even if I can make it work without a camber kit, I am not ruling out the idea of buying a kit down the road

I believe the rear camber isnt adjustable with stock arms. With a +11 and stock camber, be prepared to poke and sit on the tire when you "Dump" it. Im at -8 camber in the rear with a 20x11 +15 and i rub on a 255-35 when i hit a good size dip and my wheels pokes about half an in to an inch. youll need to pull fenders for sure or run a a lot of camber. Keep in mind you need a traction rod and toe arm kit as well when running past -6 degrees.

I hate typing on this new japanese virtual qwerty keyboard,,,
If u do the relatively fheap 5mm longer rear arms on a 245*35 tire with shaved rear fenders u may be alright or ay need to do a mild five mm pull which u can diy with a buddy no problem,, should fit with a little 'work'. If it were easy everyone would have super flush cars running around slammed...

I just bought my wheels, test fitted, then ordered tires based of what I thought was needed.
Best of luck to all.. you can also check out tyrestretch and rimtuck for sizes and pictures.

Rimtuck has always been a fav of mine, too bad they dont have any pics of the crown,, yet...
So u went with the wheels/specs u were asking about in this thread? If so good luck and post pics, should be worth it if u put in the work.

No, I haven't had a chance to test fit the wheels. I think I will pass on these and wait for something a little less aggressive.
It's not that I don't want to put in the work and effort, it's just that I am realizing I most likely won't be able to tuck wheel and tire on something this aggressive. I will be lucky to tuck tire, and that will be with me changing the control arms, traction arms and with a lot of camber
