it's subjective to how low you are.............
so, if you are low and rubbing, then you move to a more narrow tire....

we cant suggest the best tire, because some people like fat wide tires and some people like skinny narrrow extremem camber.

so, you're going to have to assess what you want out of your ride.

Well its my daily, I'd prefer not to go camber crazy but I also don't want 'battle stance'
I can raise it if need be. My main concern is camber wear on the tires, not cool.
I can roll the fenders also.. I guess I want what's going to looks the best but also safe and comfortable for a dd?

^it's still preference based.....
use an online tire calculator to make sure your new tires are in the same diameter range as OEM....
then, you're going to have to figure out what you want!!!!

WIDER is ALWAYS better for traction... or performance...
BUT if you dont care for performance or need the tire to be more narrow so that it wont rub....

a 225mm wide tire is STILL too NARROW for a 9 inch wide wheel.
you're still stretching!!

see, I hate stretch. I would rather put PROPER tires on that 9 inch wheel.
255mm or 265mm wide

Probably extra fuckin narrow.
nah but really i'm going to test fit the wheels this weekend then decide what to go with.

Not trying to buy new tires every month from inner wear on the tires. I have camber arms i have to put on the try and straighten everything out if possible. Right now i'm hella negative and eat through tires

Your toe is off.
you can have negative camber without wear

And realize that if you do go extra narrow, you'll have less contact path with road and that means you will eat tires.....
Because tires are meant for performance not tire stretching for aesthetics
