Rubadubdub, smokin tyres

I've just test fitted my rears, but need a bit of work
They don't look crazy but just looking for advice.
19x10 image split rims 3.5" dishes, et 22 with 18mm adapters.
The arch is pulled slightly with a cricket bat, but the fat edge of the arch sits on the tyre edge
I drove for 10 secs & it looked like it was on fire!





Standard camber ATM too, what do you guys reckon would make them fit?

You need more stretch or more camber. Is that a 265?

It doesn't look that stretched on a 10" wheel for some reason. You should try adding some more negative camber.

You're going to burn a hole in your tire if you keep driving like that (speaking from personal experience). Definitely going to either have to do more fender work, or add more camber, or both. You may want to shave off the fender lip if you can't get it super flat. That should free up a good amount of clearance for you.

I'm not currently driving like that, was just a quick test.
I've got some schnitzer type 3s but at the moment I only have 1x9.5 wheel and 3x8.5 wheels.
I think I might try a little camber and a proper arch roller

Oh and since you asked, they are just ebay ones. I wanted some steel not aluminium nuts and came across these. They've pretty good though not flaking decently made. The adapters are custom from a local guy
