Thanks! Ive got the wheels and some 20mm and 5mm hubcentric spacers on the way. Currently around 2deg in the rear too. Was hoping you'd say like 1.5 lol.

Haven't ordered the tires yet. Do you feel they are too wide for the 10s? I know they run wide. I currently have 245 ZIIs on stock wheels and they are at least as wide as my old v12 255s.

Got my 285 ZIIs and 18x10s mounted and studs installed. LOTS of work to do in the rear before this weekend's local autocross event!

so much info in this thread now. i gotta figure out the how wide i can effectively go with rolling and pulling only.
i'd love a 10" wheel and a 275 without having to run more than 2* camber up front and 1.5 rear.

Not sure if this helps are not but I've been autoxing 275/40/17 on a 17x9 et 35, 12mm spacer in the front, with only a roll in the rear and some "modified" fender liners. My alignments specs are close to what your talking about, cant remember the exact number but it wasn't to difficult.

Always better to have more data points.

Which specific tires were you using? Some 275s are wider than others.

How are you liking the 275 on the 9" wheel? I'm not sure that would work for me on a 100mph sweeper. 9.5 + 38 with 20mm spacer up front. Rears are close inside and out.

I don't have much to add from this weekend, but I can say that when using new 285/30-18 Hoosier A6s on my listed setup, I was rubbing the inside of the driver's side rear tire. This could be specific to the track, but I imagine it would rub in other scenarios, too.

Talk to R/Ternie, he has some rear trailing arms that allow for some extra clearance.

Curious to know what his effective offset is. I have a 25 with a ton of room to spare so he must be 38 plus spacer .?
