[QUOTE=Euroflavor,Feb 8 2011, 08:55 AM] I was just throwing it out there.

Local guy here had 11.5 +44 in the rear and said he was rubbing inside here and there, must have been on cornering?

I'm almost positive you should go with that color. It grows on me more everytime I see it with that GPW. It looks good dude.

Thanks, car looks great! How do you find the ride/handling with that much stretch on the front end? Do you think with a degree or two more of camber up front you could have went to a wider tire?
Are you kidding? Wider tire + more camber? More camber = less contact patch. His setup is great as is.

Theoretically.. More camber means more contact patch around a turn. But decreased braking performance....

I'm sure an extra 30mm gained in contact patch going from a 225 to a 255 would make the slight amount of patch lost by an extra degree of negative camber negligible. He is only at -2 degrees in the front right now.

I'm asking because I want to run an 18 x 10 +40 with a 255 in the front, and I want to find out what it takes to do so.

Are you sure you are actually riding anywhere, or just crawling?
