Fawkkkk. I want those 10" +18

how do you run 11.5" +19 on a fairly stock rear? Compinsating with tire and camber specs? It boggles my mind.
I am running a 245 rear and 225 front Continental ContiSport Contact 2 which run a little wide.

Well Alex has a 245 tire on the 11.5 and is over 7 degrees of camber.

I still think you will have trouble fitting that and I would recommend 10 +38 which will stick out 1/4" farther than now and you will have a bit more tire.

Or worst case get a 10mm spacer on the 38 and call it a day.

Remember the face on the rpf1 doesnt change

I know, after 9" you don't gain anything.

I've been thinking the 10" +38 is going to be the safest. I can upsize my rear tire a little to accomidate the wider rear fender or add a degree of camber and not worry about buckling the rear
