The rears on my HREs are 19x11+35 305/30/19 Michelin PSS with basically no room. I'd suggest that's the most aggressive one should go on a 19x11.

wheels will be for sale btw

Perfect!

Do you think I would be safe with these settings using the KW HAS kit?

Yes you will be fine.

So far so good. I have a track day on Sat and I expect them to grip better than the PSS's but I will see.

would a 305/35/18 nitto 555r rub with 18x11 et34 not going beyond factory camber?

From my experience, and post above, that's right on the edge. I wouldn't do it.

I think you need to go beyond factory camber settings to get that to tuck. I think you're better off getting a +40 on that size. I run the 19x11.5 +40 Klassen wheels with 305/30/19 with a decent amount of room left.

That's pretty impressive without rubbing.

have you tried a 19x12 rear? I am trying to find the offest for 19x12

Nope, not yet. I am fine with 305 sized tires .

if you can get the 11.5" rear with +40 with 305 to work fine then the 11" +34 should work or be close. the only reason I'm trying to get a 305 is to be a little wider and keep the od closer to stock. I want 295 but then it would make my car even lower than I like it. I would need a 295/35/18, 295/40 would be too tall. te37s are only out with a +34 that is why i can't get more offset. also the 555r I wanted are only in 305 or you have to get like a 275 and that might looked stretched on an 11" wheel.

Cool thanks! I know the HAS Kit has wider perches. Would you be concerned with inside clearance?

I'm running ET35 with 305/30 lowered (HAS) and have some minor rub when the suspension is loaded. I'm moving to ET40.

what kind of tires? I was thinking about running nitto 555r drags 305/35/18. I heard nittos run smaller?

also how low are you? I'm also running has with about 4-5 threads from the lowest(about .6-.7") in the rear

A little lower than stock (no tuck). Not sure of the exact measurements. Tires are mpss 305/30/19. Running as much camber as the stock plates will allow, too.

I have no experience with nittos or 18in wheel sizes.

Ok, I just put 305/35/18 nitto 555r rears on te37sl 18x11 et34 with kw has lowered around .7" in rear f80. Absolutely no rubbing normal driving with 3 people in the car. It rubbed slightly when hitting it 2nd gear when the rear compressed a lot more. So I can safely say that this setup is perfect for anyone thinking of going to a 305 rear on 11" wheel with at least an et34.

Camber set to -1.9 rear which is within stock specs. Alignment shop said stock range was -1.5-2.2 rear

Wow. What tires?

I ran 295/30r19 PSS on an 19x11 et35 and they rubbed. I had a bit less camber, but not 5mm at the top of the tire less!
