thanks guys
Looking at selling my 295's back there with 95% tread
BF KDW's
Move the 265's to the rear and get 235's up front, then roll.

Running 8.5 265/35/18's up front 17 offset
Running 9.5 295/35/18's in the rear 17 offset
If this is your J then those tires are WAY too big. You def have bulge going on.
225/40 front, 235/40 rear = a TINY bit less than square.
235/40 front 245/40 rear if you want more meat. No more than that for those J's though.

Get 235 and 265 tires.
Lower it and without a camber kit, it should camber at negative 2+ in the front and 2.5+ in the rear and

This makes 0 sense.
What is negative 2+?? that equals 0 degrees of camber lol.
How can you predict camber with an arbitrary drop?

i think you would be ok in front with a 225-35 and rear 245-35 since your drop isnt too extreme. If you do plan on dropping the car right on the rim then i would prolly go to a 215 and 235. but at that it gets a bit risky for some. Just my thoughts.

do a 225/40/18 in front and a 255/35 in the rear with those offsets. That's what I'd suggest along with about 2 degrees of camber all around.
