295/30/19 rear and 265/30/19 front fitted on 10.5" and 9.5" weds, respectively. Can't wait to give her a proper bath this weekend to make the VO POP!











The wheel paint is a pearlized bronze (gloss clear) so it's particularly difficult to capture kinda like the vo paint is.

Thanks. Yea, a little bit of both. The rear is fine over small-medium bumps, but big ones result in rub. I knew it was going to be close with the 295 PSS's. Visually, it looks like the stock neg camber is enough but the rub tells a different story. This pic sorta shows what I'm talking about:



Lowering should help squeeze out a couple extra degrees of neg camber to clear this up. The front rubs at full lock, but it isn't too bad. Lowering should help since the tire/liner contact area will shift to the plastic vent area.



(pic stole from the liner thread)

Sooo, a fresh drop is what the doc ordered. Oh and I gotta get rid of this :
