Sweet! I'll also be interested on hearing how they corner and such. Just want to make sure they don't feel too "squirmy" in the corners due to that size being about the max width for our rim. What size spacers do you think should give the 265f and 305r a flush look? I'm thinking of going 20mm all around but that was when I thought I was going with 265f and 285r. Should I maybe cut the rear down to 15mm if I decide on the wider 305?

"Flush" can depend on what camber you run. My wheels are pretty flush with 20/25. I like it and everything I've read there will be no issues lowered on swifts with 265 up front and a 20mm spacer and I know for sure 285 fits with 25mm spacers in the rear and swifts (re11's) and the thing with re11's, the sidewall is stiff enough that it doesn't bubble on the wheel. It's also a slightly smaller profile as the 285 is a 35 profile and the 305 is a 30. Also what I've found is that is about the closest you are going to get to the same overall height as the stock 275/35. That being said the 305 should fit fine with a 20mm rear and may fit fine with a 305. I will just have to let you know once they're on

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

Oh, my bad. I've heard some people have better luck than others in this department. You're one of the lucky ones.
I was unable to get camber and toe anywhere near spec after installing the Swifts and letting them settle in for a month. The SPC kit, and 2 hours and a couple of beers on Sunday afternoon at my friend's shop got me perfect.

Got ya... It's not exactly to stock spec but very very close. I haven't noticed any excess inside tread wear. I figured I would gradually update the suspension components. I was thinking spl but spc is much more cost friendly. Ever heard of anyone with the spc having issues or would you recommend spc

LunaZ 02-27-2013 04:07 PM

Yeah, I wasn't even close. I'd have to find the printout from the first alignment, but I recall being a whole degree off on either side and thinking that tires were going to cost more than a camber kit.

SXZ34 02-27-2013 04:35 PM

Yeah they definitely do. 1 tire = SPL camber arms haha

Took a few shots earlier to try and show the fitment a little more

LMBmikeZ 03-03-2013 09:25 PM

IMO side shots show the fitment better :tup:

awesome that the tires fit I am going with same sizes in PSS and have a similar setup with drop and spacers :tup:
