An alignment will cure most of it, tech should be able to increase negative camber

Yepp will do, thx!

19x9 +12 sitting on 275/35/19 Rs3. Rubs on bumps. I've installed FUCA, but haven't gone for an alignment. Will I need to roll fenders?

I'm lowered on Swift springs.

If you can, switch up the tires. The 275 RS3s are a huge tire and run kind of wide, especially on a x9.0 wheel. Would fit better with a 255 or even 265 different model tire. You possibly may not even have to roll.

Yeah the brand of tires are going to make the difference there. I'm running 19x9.5 +12 up front with same size tires but they are Forehawk Indy 500 and the sidewalls aren't as square and pull in a little - just enough to make that difference. And I've got Nismo flares on so even less clearance than you do.

If you've got adjustable upper control arms you can also dial in a bit more -camber when you do the alignment. Wouldn't take much more if they only rub on bumps.

with the SPL FUCA, you can do virtually anything up front depending on your effort/comfort level with negative camber

Rolling a fender isn't a big deal if you have any sort of competent shop. Apply heat and pressure gradually and there shouldn't be any damage to your paint.

I agree 275 on a 9 inch rim is wide - i misread your sizes and thought it was a 9.5, thats a bit wide. I'm running 275 on an 11, its a minor stretch.

That's a bit more than minor....🤔

Really it's not, but i suppose you're coming from a different place.

Yea, the not stretching tires place :tup:

MaysEffect,
How stretched would a 305/30 Michelin PSS be on a 19x12" wheel?

I refer to that place as shitty wheel fitment

equally as much as a 275 on a 11". If i was going to stretch that, i'd put a 305/35 on and not a 30profile.

oppose to scraping the rim on everything because you have no sidewall protection? :confused:

OptionZero 09-23-2017 04:01 PM

Is that a joke? If i scrape my rim on a curb thats would be due to bad driving, not a tire/wheel sizing choice

my wheel fitment is for my own aesthetic. if i'm going to a track, i'm putting on different set of wheels

i'm sure as hell not gonna pick a tire size for "side wall protection"
seems like a pretty simple solution

if you want a different look for your car, cool, whatever your money

but please don't come with "oh no my rim might get scraped up"

lol,,,i make it a point not to bump curbs.
Also your sidewall comment is off.....lower series tires fit wider wheels better.
