putting wider tire wont do you any good if you have to camber it more. you'll have less contact patch with the ground.

AKE black subframe bushings
Wavetrac LSD
Rear differential lock down
KWV2 Coilovers
Stock camber settings for sport suspension

I'll roll and stretch if needed before adding camber.

Why not run a drag radial? A 275-285/35 drag radial will stick better then any other ultra high performance summer tire any day. You can run them on 9-9.5" wheel also.

It's a daily driver. I'm using drag radials for the track though. I do about 750-1000 miles a week.

Yup e85 especially. Lotta tires too. Set number 9 coming up.

[Cory S]

Omg...... Not even going to ask..

Mostly PSS, conti DW, and DWS. They just wear out every 25k +/-.
Now I'm getting Bridgestone Potenza RE11 because I need the added traction as I'm finishing my power upgrades.

Where were you five years ago when he asked?

[marconi118]

to be centered and rub equally inside and outside you need ET40

max rim is 10,5
11 might rub

305 tires that run narrow are fine
I do AD08R 305 30 19 on 10X19 ET40 M4 wheels
I do PS4S 295 30 20 on 10X20 ET40 M4 wheels too

fenders shaved to the max especially at the junction with bumper

front 9,5x19 et 40 275 30 19

[marconi118]

some tires are crazy wide

pirelli sottozero 2 295 are 10mm wider than 305 ad08r

[Ozzie335i]

Forget the tires, I can't get past that wing.

Pics of your fenders? What do you mean by 'shaved'? Is this a cutting/grinding job or a tight roll?

[marconi118]

it is cutting grinding especially at the fender to bumper meeting point
shave all you can.
the plastic bumper will be shaved by the tire rubbing, to make the right shape for you without work

when I will have time I will do some pictures
robc1976 posted pictures, I did the same
