Lowering on Swifts..1.5 front 1.0 rear. Factory Camber.

Judging from what I have read this is to aggressive? What do you guys think and if it can be done what would be the right tire size. I am thinking it would need a stretch.

First of all that is medium to mild for the rear... We have guys running 11+0 and 12+0 for the rear. Now the front is a different story... 9.5 +15 is where you need to be at anything lower and you will need camber arms. I have done 9.5 +15 and scraped on really hard dips on a 255. I am currently on 10 +15 on 255 and have no problems but I also have camber arms.

Keeping stock camber is not going to happen with most setups. I know a lot of people want stock camber but honestly... Why? Adding camber front and rear is going to increase your turn in response... so all in all stick with a 9.5 +15 or 10 +22 in the front and you should be good

*EDIT* I see you went to a 245 that made it fit looks good!

Thanks for the help. I don’t mind some camber...just don’t want my car looking ridiculous. I know the front will fit with a 245/30/19 for sure. I want to go to 245/40/19 just so that it is sized properly to the rears which I want to be a 285/35/19. The rears were the ones that I was worried about but from what you have said it seems that it should not be an issue as long as I am not super low or anything.

10.5 +0 you could run a 305 no problem!!! I am running 12 +0 305 with a custom pad height to push mine out further. Metz is running 12 +0 too if I recall with no problems...

What about a 9" front on 255/35 or 245/40? If I add spacers to get to the equivalent of a 9.5" +15 with either of these tires will I have issues? My tires would not be as stretched because my front rims are 0.5" narrower.

When you scrape on big bumps do you mean just the plastic liner or the fender itself?

You should be fine. Also remember my car is pretty low with a 2"+ drop all around...

Now I see how this fits so easily on your car. A 2" drop sucks the wheels in a lot. Most of us have around a 1" drop.

How about some pics? Your setup sounds awesome.

Hi, guys! I'm sure you've answered this a gazillion times but I'm not very educated when it comes to wheel/tire sizing

I would like to know what size/offset I would need to get to be able to support 305's (or other aggressive-looking sizes) in the rear... I will be dropped on H&R springs and I'm looking at a set of 20's.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Check out my album all the info is in there under the pics starts with the 3rd pic. I'm running 20's and 255/30/20..front and 305/25/20..rear, here's the link
