These are the specs for the wheels & tires I'm thinking about getting. Any rubbing? What camber are you running? Any other mods to make them work? TIA.

Both are really nice. Love the color on both of them!
can you please put up a few more pictures of this set up? I think I want to go 255 squared next set of tires, love this look
There are a few others on the TSW site: https://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_imatra.php (click the vehicle gallery)
On either a 8.5" or 9" wheel ET45 (with a little front camber) it should be pretty trouble free unless you're really low, or not on coilovers. The Yoko V601s don't run super wide and have a nice profile like a Continental or Michelin, but YMMV with another tire.

I second this opinion. Iām on coilovers with the same tires and size and I donāt rub at all with 1.5* of camber up front.

Not as great of images as some, but I'm on 18" x 8.5" rims, with 255/35 Rt660's, with zero rubbing, and no spacers.

His wheels are +35et (he didnāt post that but I can tell via voodoo) so at his ride height with stiffer springs and having at least -2 camber at each corner, Heās rub free even with autocross driving

Your voodoo is good then, because the manufacturer calls them +45, but I just go off what they say as I don't have the voodoo skills.
Coil overs with camber from offset bushings and eurosport pucks.

My bad, that fitment donāt sit inbound at all like 45etā¦ and those wheels come in ET35s as well. May want to check the physical stamping inside those Montegis
Also in my defenseā¦ 8.5ā 45et doesnāt coordinate with thread title so itās easy to make the mix up.

Yeah, personally I don't care if they're 35et or 45et. They work great for my autox wheels, but I'll check the stamp next time I go to put them on.
I just happened to stroll back in the thread, and saw a few other posts about the same size tire and similar wheel, and figured I'd post up.
Going back to the earlier posts from the thread I can see I definitely don't belong in here.
