Yea my fault, im lowered about 2 inches and Im dam near 0 camber, and I dont want to run negative camber.

What do you consider excessive negative camber. Just get the wheels, run 255's, and run -2.5 camber. Problem solved.

Are you building a drag car or something?

If it's not what he wants to do then it is what it is. He said he doesn't want to run negative camber and he wants more fitting tires.

You aren't going to see camber wear from ~2 degrees of camber, though. So don't be afraid of some camber. It's beneficial. You'll have to go less aggressive on the offset to get more tire in there.

Im not building a drag car, but I do plan on taking it to the strip every now and again, when I dont feel like taking my bike over. As far as the camber is concerned, I just dont wanna blow thru tires like crazy from running negative camber. The car is already lowered and I had an alignment done to 0-in the camber as much as they could.

then just use the +40 wheels. you won't be able to use anything wider than 225, maybe 235, with 0* camber on your +22 wheels.
fyi, camber doesn't wear out tires as much as toe does, most people run through tires b/c they run too much camber, throwing their toe completely out of whack and not doing the proper mods to correct that, hence why they start seeing wires after 5k miles.

The front rims are 18x9's and I am wanting the stretched tire look on the front, not to extreme tho because St. Louis roads blow, so I need some rim protection. Any suggestions? I was thinking along the lines of a 225/35 on the front. The rear tire will be a 285/30
What do you guys think?
