HUM>>>>
they stick out just a tad to far in the rear. compress that spring enough putting down the power and tire meets fender. not good for track use from what I see. Hate to see you cut a tire or even worse... Do you think it will be OK?
Is there that much difference just because of the brand of tire???

Nittos tend to bulge on the shoulder more than most. Though probably can pull it in a bit with camber adjustment, though these cars do pull the wheels inward through the compression of the suspension somewhat so may be ok

@dirtroadtrip have fun at VIR and report back on how the wheels and tires work for you.

I can pull the camber in I think. @VoodooBoss before the lowering springs how much rear camber were you able to achieve with the OEM adjustment?

 

[VoodooBoss]

I had the alignment done to the Ford Performance specs before and after the spring install. I'm running slightly more camber at -1.8.

Thanks, so no issue getting to the FP specs in the rear with the OEM eccentric bolt adjustment?

 

[VoodooBoss]

None, I had a local dealer do the alignment.

So the poke in the rear was nagging me, and I knew I'd benefit from more negative rear camber, so I got in there to see how hard it is to adjust. The answer is "not hard". Just loosen the bolt holding the camber arm to the subframe and push the camber arm in. The subframe holes are slotted and allow for adjustment. I think it's better now, and I'm going tomorrow to get it properly aligned.

@superhero sorry I didn't respond to your post above sooner. My 6GR 19x11's were ET50 so they stuck out more than the Apex ET52's. I never had any rubbing with the 305/30/19 SC2's and certainly don't expect to have any with the Apex wheels on my car.
