Looks awesome, perfect color combo. With your setup, how is the tire wear with those SPL rear camber arms? I'm looking to go lower on Swift springs and I'll be running the same tires (S04s) and sizes as well (265s & 305s). Spacers too, probably F-20mm, R-25mm. I was just researching camber kits... SPC vs. SPL.

I can't comment on tire wear yet...265/35 & 305/30 S-04's go on tomorrow. I'm running Swifts with 15mm/20mm spacers. I put an AMS front and rear camber kit on today. Everything fit perfect, nice kit for the money. Came with A arms, camber arms, & traction arms. The main reason I went AMS is the front camber can't slip. Can't wait to get back in alignment and put the meats on. I'll post a pic after...

I havent experienced too much tire wear. Im at -2.4 degrees because im on stock toe bolts and i cant get toe to were i want it if i go more positive on the camber. I also do check my alignment very often because im a tech and have access to the rack after work. With that said the bridgestones i had on my sport wheels have 10,000 miles on them and id say 6000 of those were with the springs already installed and they looked fine.

Concave vs lip; which looks better with wide tires?

No right answer, all comes down to personal preference

Easier to clear bigger brakes on a concave setup and easier to clean than a big lipped wheel but not everyone likes the look

I have rays 19x9.5 +35 and 19x10.5 +25 with michelin p265/35r19 on the front and p305/30r19 on the rear. Fit with no problems. No rubbing at all. The michelins are amazing.

Wheel Size: 19x9 (front), 19x10 (rear)

If your asking about rubbing issues? Just put the same 265/305 combo in S-04's on last weekend. None here on stock Rays, Swifts, and 15mm/20mm spacers. Pretty good visual fit too. I will post pic as soon as I can get it cleaned up this weekend.

im not running spacers but im also stock suspension. wonder if they'll be ok with no spacers.

It looks like it would fit in the back for sure. There's about 2.5" between the tire and shock on mine, which is the closest thing... It's hard for me to see in front while it's on the ground. From what I can see it might work. I don't know for sure though on either. You could always get spacers if they rub. Are you against using spacers? The car looks much more aggressive with the tires flushed out. And with some Swift springs even better.
With the 305's I'm considering going down to 15mm in the back. There's a slight poke with the 20mm. I'll decide after I go get some neg. camber put back in. I recently put camber kits on to get back to spec. alignment. My car feels a lot less crisp turning with spec. settings. I must have gotten use to all the neg. camber when out of spec. Hope this helps a little.
