Exclamation Will it camber?

So I just picked up a TL-S without the OEM wheels. Instead, it came with a set of Sportmax wheels that were meh.

Found these on CL off a 350z
19x8.5+35
19x9.5+45
Tire sizes are 245/35/19 and 275/30/19

Looking to see if the 'natural' camber that is introduced when lowering will allow these to clear (with or without rolled fenders).

This is my DD, so don't want to spend too much of my modding budget on this car.

those are some huge rear tires in the rear.

no way you'll get them to fit if you lower it/camber it.

Depending on how much you plan on lowering your car. You well need more stretched tires. Maybe try the 245/35/19 up front in the rears? Or what I would do is: 215/35/19 fronts and 235/35/19 rears. You will need to roll all 4 fenders. I have a no gap drop and my fronts are 19x8.5 +35 with 215/35/19 and when I went sideways to clear speed bumps and ect, it caught the inner fender. After we did a roll and slight pull, it was all good. I'm still have the plastic inner fender pieces on mines as well.

After some more searching, I found my answer.

I'll probably roll the fenders and add a degree or two of camber.

Dude roll your fenders and you can run 235/35/19 front ...245/35/19 rear... no problem..... No way in hell would you need a 215 tire....lol

I may save people a lot of time by saying this

my 18x9.5 +27 (22 with 5mm spacer in the rear) on a 255/35/18 required ATLEAST -4 camber at the rear to clear the quarters while rolling,going over bumps. Even then there is VERY slight rub on certain bumps and going over driveways since susp compress hard on certain sides when climbing a driveway

my fronts are slightly pulled and can easily get away w/ it, rear no even though it is rolled as flat as possible

You are not clearing that 275 lol
