I believe this is all about ppl preferences. Some would do anything to fit a wider tires, and some would just settle with a smaller tires to avoid rubbing (like I did). But 285 to 275 or 275 to 265 makes a huge difference in terms of clearance. I didnt think 10mm decrease would solve my rubbing issue, but it did.

oh well...that seems to be what alot of 20inch guys are running?

I really want to run 285s on my new set....maybe if it only rubs on bumps I will give it a shot hahaha. maybe some negative camber will help?

Nat, can u request ADV to make u 19x10 + 55mm rear? Then ur 285 should fit w/o rubbing.

And are u staying at stock height or planning on a drop? 19's w/o a drop looks funky. Lol

ah no with the deal I got for the SLs, the rear was already pre made to their fitment. oh well at least I will have baller wheels LOL.

10mm wont make too much of a difference in traction I guess, but I just wanted thicker sidewalls LOL.

and mann 18s too small....19s too funky without a drop....making me spend more money hahahaha. I really want KW v3 but its so expensive!

LOL.. Go all the way or go home bro!!

Well, ur 18's had meaty tires which looks fine at stock height.. Ur 19's will have low profile 30 sidewalls.. So it will show the wheel gap more trust me. I've been there done that. Lol

Btw, when r u expecting them? My god, it took HRE only 2 weeks to built my wheels. Lol

You can buy rear camber bolts that they use on the upper tier models. Just search and the part # should come up.
