Thanks guys!

I had every expectation the 285's would rub so I planned to buy 275/30's with matching 225/40 fronts in Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Maybe when these start to die

FWIW - I believe you generally want more neg camber in the front than the rear.

Car looks great!

I agree... I've never run more rear neg camber than front but as I was expecting these 285/30's on 11" wide wheels NOT to clear, I asked the alignment tech to give it a bit more than -2 in back to pull the top outside edge in in the hopes it would help with clearance... while remaining -2 up front. I'm not gonna track it much so that's pretty aggressive for the street. With my sh!tty Eagle GT's, it's damn predictable and generally goes where I point it with the ability to feather it from stepping out too much. Haven't had any time on these used Pzero Rosso's but I expect it to push a little more lol. We'll see!

Ah, I see!! I didn't realize that there are so many versions of these rims! Thanks for clearing that up!
