Yeah, i realised that after i started getting weird answers Typing English isnt easy for me.

my fronts are 10" wide with a 225's and its stretched quite a bit and i know some people aren't fond of that so be prepared. also running 245's on the rears which are 11". as long as you can do some fender work i think you can fit them, mine are 10" +0 and 11" +7 if i recall correctly, but i have around -6ish camber in the front and -8ish in the rear

Always disappointing to see people stretch a 225 over wide wheels...a 10" wheel is flush with 285's and no stretch

The details about offset, tire stretch, camber, and suspenion parts have been discussed.



OP is replacing the lips on his existing summer multi-piece wheels. In doing this, he has to work with the offset of his other parts.

OP is aware of what it will take to get the wheels on his car. By understanding what it will take, it's my opinion that OP knows what he wants. And clearly what he wants is to run a 225 on his existing wheels with new lips, and a bunch of camber.


Additionally, a 285 is not going to fit with those specs without adding a widebody kit. OP never asked about wide body kits.

I'm not debating that the OP knows what he wants I'm just saying it's a waste and ruining the performance of the car to an unusable level. Different strokes for different folks.

I know a 285 won't fit with those wheel specs I'm stating that the proper, read as: not stretched tire for that width wheel would have been a 285, not a 225.

IMO, it's a waste to preach aginst stretched tires in a thread where a guy is considering - 8 or -9 camber.

honestly its not that bad, car still drives fine i can still drive pretty spirited in the hills with no issues. I get that people dont like how it looks but honestly a 285 on stock power isnt going to give me any more performance than a 225 or 235. with 10" up front i dont think there is any possible way to even put that much meat up there. i already have about 10mm or poke with the 225's and a decent amount of camber. then again my fronts are 0 offset so i need the camber to not have 2 inches of poke
