But think of how much better traction you could have with 275s.

So you guys are installing narrower tires than stock and running ridiculous camber settings to achieve a certain look? You have to exit driveways at an angle just to make it to the street and you crawl down the road at super slow speeds to keep your suspensions from bottoming out and your tires from shredding themselves on your wheel arches? WTF?

Im running 245/255 on mine, lowered on KW V1's and the only issue I have is rubbing with a passenger in the back or over a large dip. I could probably raise it up a bit more, but it's not too bad as it is now.

Agreed, I guarantee you my left testicle the first pothole or shitty bump you hit with those stretched-ass tires you are bursting the sidewall and crushing that wheel.
I took out 2 VMR's on the left side of my car with semi-stretched Conti DW's in 225, front 255 rear. Traction was not that awesome either I must say.
