Isn't this going to make my fuel neck issue worse though?With the 5 mm spacer, you should be able to max the rear camber to get the tire under the fender better.

I guess I don't know where it's rubbing, I assumed the outside fender.Isn't this going to make my fuel neck issue worse though?
Begs the question if 255/40 front and 235/45 rear might be an option. On a 17" that gives the same OD front to back. Could probably compensate the less rear grip by dialing out some of the rear toe to calm the car down and still keep the car balanced.The Falken 660s run really wide according to everything I've seen and heard. The purpose of my post was to let people know that a 255 35 18 Falken is pretty much OK and that I personally wouldn't attempt running the 265 in the rear. The rubbing isn't bad and only happens when I go over speedbumps. The rates are going up back there soon anyway...
Those look awfully familiar
Shocks won't help in steady state turns, as they are a timing device, not a body roll limiting spring.I take back what I said earlier about my setup not rubbing. Went on a spirited drive tonight and it runs on hard left hand turns (maybe 70-80% track speed). Ordering 3mm spacers tonight. Also will increase rear damping, I have it on a fairly soft setting at the moment.
I also cut out the inner liner between the wheel and the filler neck.I guess I don't know where it's rubbing, I assumed the outside fender.
What springs rates did you choose?
That’s a good point. Rear is fairly soft, 5k.Shocks won't help in steady state turns, as they are a timing device, not a body roll limiting spring.
What's your spring rates?
650F/950RWhat springs rates did you choose?
I have 750/1000 on hand, not sure I want to try it though. Rear shocks not valved for that rate.650F/950R
Very soft, I run 7k in the off season.That’s a good point. Rear is fairly soft, 5k.
What rear bar?650F/950R
