Anyone successfully get 275/30/19 out back without compromising camber?

Looks like NT05 275/30/19 (10.77") is similar overall width to MPSS 265/30/19 (10.7"). Doesn't look like Nitto makes a 265/30/19. Want a stickier tire. Suppose I can settle for MPSS/ContiDW if I have to. Not going with Vred again, they've gotten too expensive for their britches.

RE-11/RE-71R/Rival/RS3 are not made in sizes I can throw on out back.

Feedback is appreciated! Any details necessary for hardware can be found in my build thread link below.

I loved the nt05s, super sticky, stiff sidewall and decent street manners if a little loud

IMO it will be extremely tough to fit these 275s on a 19 inch wheel regardless of offset without real fender work because the nt05s, in addition to running wide, also run taller than similar sized summer tires (235/40/17 was about 5mm taller than same size federal RSR side by side)

I was going to suggest the federal RSR (not RS-RR) since I am FBO + inlets and hooked up in 3rd gear no problem with 235/40/17 square but it seems they don't make them in 19 inch sizes

is your offset +52 or above?

8x19et45 and 9x19et48 and rolled on all four corners.

On 235/35 and 265/30, but as you said, tires run different. Interesting that the NT05 runs tall. Suppose I'm not surprised. Also wary of going too wide for the wheel, 275 is the upper boundary for a 9".

These wheels are a bitch to find tires for. Everything is either avail in 18 or 20.

Just out of curiosity, why NT05's over Michelin Super Sports? I'm looking at getting one of the two for in the back - shooting for 265 35 18's; thoughts on size for stock M sport suspension on an e82?

NT05 is stickier.
