Not really, I was already on the metal part of the tire and drifting on that, it popped.

The problem wasn't too much camber or too small of tires, it was just using the tire past it's life.

Heh, lookin' fresh imput!

^True, but look at where the problem was. Less camber...less of a problem.

Camber shortened the life but honestly, the outside looks pretty far worn as well. I've done far worse! lol Less negative could have given them an ounce more of life, but that's pretty much it.

Not really. If it was more of a camber problem, only part of the tire would be bald.

as long as you stay stock height you shouldn't have a problem fitting them.


if you do lower you will need work done. That or at full load you might grab w/out a roll.

Jeez how many times have you asked that exact same question? Only issue is that it may not look good as I suspect it will sit beyond the fender.

How can you go through 4+ sets of wheels in the time that it takes me to wait for 1 set
