$250 per tire need to last so if 255 stick out on stock camber 275 will stick alot and wide fender will be need it. -2 will eat the tires? I think yes!!!

i was saying -2 was nothing to worry bout man..that s13 had -5 atleast you could touch the bottom of the tire when it was sitting on the ground with fully adjustable rucas,lower and upper control arms tension bars /w/e you call them, -2 is like the safe zone before tire wear and handling is affected,can be gained with few after market parts i believe and is recomended for racing iirc, and you want to play with big wheels you have to pay,thats why we stuck to 15s 2-3 weeks is racing ever other couple of nights..me and my friends used to do crazy s*** till we learned we cant keep up with maintance cost and tire cost

Well it seems that if I want to save tires I will need to put fender flares then because with 255-35 they stick out so a cut and flares. Now for an inch wich size flares 30mm?I am going to mold it to the fender.

molded flared on a 240 look stupid. Can you post a pic of your car? I mean you haven't really lowered it and it sounds like you have a tire that is way too big for your application. Your car will be slower and suck gas like an RX7. And it's not like a little camber is going to cut your tire life in half. You probably have a summer tire, that means that with 0 camber you will get ~20,000 MAX miles out of them, with -2 deg camber you might get slightly less, but not significantly less.
