Help

I have a 08 tl and recently just got new tires (they’re 225/40R18) because my old ones got messed up from being cambered a little in the back so now I got new tires and I’m not cambered so this doesn’t happen again but I keep rubbing in the back and I’ve lifted my car some twice now and don’t want to again I want to stay low so I was wondering what’s the best size tires to get that I can have on that I can be low enough to not have any wheel gap or to not have to much wheel gap without being cambered and without rubbing if anyone can help I’ll appreciate it thanks

What are your wheel specs? What coilovers? If adjustable, you can adjust damping to be stiffer to avoid rubbing.

Camber wont wear out your tires that much, its toe that messes up your tire more and chances are your toe is off OR your toe adjustment is seized.

Oh I thought it was the camber that did that and my wheel specs are 18x10 my coils are Racelands and I’m not able to adjust the damping

Camber will wear it down...but over the course of 20-30k miles vs just a few 1k miles with out of whack toe.

Holy shit a 225 on a 10" wide wheel. That must look like a fat guy in skinny jeans!
