Fitment Help
 
Picked up a set of TE37s that are 17x7.5 +40 and 17x8.5 +40, 215s in the front, 255s in the rear. The fronts are fine, but I need some help with the rears. I had my fenders rolled and I'll be doing the bumper tab relocation this week, but it doesn't seem like it will make much of a difference. I've got Swift Spec-Rs (1.25" drop) coming this week, but I'm just not sure about the alignment, I figured I would have to run some neg camber in the rears, but I'm really not sure how much. I'm not currently having any rubbing issues since I'm at stock height, but I'm sure that will change once it's lowered.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

With that offset the more negative camber the better. You would also be better off with a 245/40R17 on the rear.

Think I could away with -1 front and -2 rear camber with the rest of the alignment being OEM?

Yes, that is basically "UK spec" alignment. You shouldn't rub with a proper fender roll and bumper tab relocation.

Thanks guys, I'll most likely go back to 215/245 once the ZII are released for those specs, but the 255s on them now have 60%+ tread and I can't justify getting rid of them.

Yeah with a 8.5 width, a 245 tire is a better fit anyways.
