Modification:

1. Rear Fenders Rolled and Flared.
2. Front Fenders Rolled.
3. Suspension adjustsments to fit.

I'm going with wider tires when it's time to repalce it.

What have you done to your car or does it fit bolt on without modification?

The back fenders are rolled, its a smooth ride with no rubbing... only the rear when its going on a incline or dip.

I could camber it some more, but its not necessary.

FACT: There are 25.4mms per inch. 9.5"*25.4mm/" = 241mm.

Examples: March 2009 Road & Track 600hp+ cars

Bentley Continental GT Speed
20x9 (F&R) 275/35

Corvette ZR1
19x10 (F) 285/35

Viper SRT10
18x10 (F) 275/35

MB SL65 AMG
19x9.5 (R) 275/35

MB SL65 AMG Black Series
19x9.5 (F) 265/35

Let's assume that if there is any stretch in these fitments, that it's (super)safely within the tire manufactures specs.

So for a 9.5, from 245-275 you're good. Stretch only happens below 240. Anything above 245 mathematically isn't stretched.

on a parallel tangent:
There is a optimum wheel width for every tire, per car/chassis, which may be different dramatically depending on the car's suspension design. For example, a solid axle, vs independent rear sus car, when fed the same tire, will rarely agree on the optimum wheel width (and psi). And if they do, (coincidentally I say), the reasons are way beyond the topic of this thread.

Meanwhile, I'd like to see an EvoX with 255s on a 10.5 wheel with very little camber...

it might with stock or skinnier than stock tires, but so would some hello kitty seat covers. The wheels will sit closer to the shock and the suspension parts, and look super sunken in. Most likely you'll rub at full lock on the inside. So, why? Seriously there is no reason to change out the stock GSR Enkies, unless the new wheels are ( pick at least 2):

Lighter
Wider
F'n secky

7.5" wheels? FAIL. Gallons and buckets of FAIL.

Otherwise, just stop making the payments and enjoy the car while you can before the repo man does his job. Sorry to be harsh, but come on...

I forgot to ask, is anyone running into camber issues with regards to excessive tire wear?
