Will this fit? Swifts, spacers, 265/305 re11's

Yeah, your wheels are wider and have much more aggressive offsets than mine do without the spacers which is gonna cause more "poke"

Also with the 285/35 your rear tires are taller than stock and taller than the 305/30's Iwan

Thanks for the compliment yes i agree on that matter, it is very stiff and doesn't bubble out. As for the height, it's a tad higher than stock due to it's profile and your 305/30 would look a tad lower but not by much

Certainly! But yeah I actually think they'll work, if not my spacers in the rear are bolt ons so I can take em off until I could pick up a 20mm for the rear too

If i were you, i'd rather invest on a decent set of rear camber arms, used ones would also do, and keep the rear spacers

I don't really want to run it too much further negative and wear out the inside of my tires

You'd be fine with at least -1.6 to -1.8, and that helps in handling as well.

You're gonna want an SPC or similar rear camber arm kit if you want any kind of life out of those 305's.

Why would it not align? It's aligned now with everything other than wider tires, I wouldn't anticipate much camber change from wider tires
