i had a set of g forces 18x9 +35 i didnt have coils so i couldnt get enough rear camber to fit these. I instead went with a set of 235/40/18 azenis. And then i ended up trading for some rpf1s a couple months later. Im running dspecs and rce yellows

i wouldnt run rumber on those tire mystilexzero.. these tires dont last as long as most other tires and putting more camber wear just kills it even faster... i had an exact same set up and it was goe... but im contemplating on whether i should get another set also...

You don't know what you are talking about if that's your idea of tire wear, and It's obvious to me you've never ran anything over slight negative camber if you think tire are blowing up in 6 months because I have a good bit of camber dialed in on Zero toe. Get a ****ing life already.
Obviously the tire at the end of it's life will show the wear on the spot that touches the ground the most, but if you do normal tire rotations like you're suppost to and have your allignment done properly (it gets me pretty pissed when a newb slams his car and doesnt get his allignment done, the tire wear rapidly, and he blames it on Camber) your tires will get plenty of life. Myself and kenny are not the only ones in the automotive world running over -3 camber on our daily drivers. I drive up to the bay area and back almost monthly which puts 1,000 miles on either of my cars
that I drive... along with daily driving. I know a thing or two about tires and wheels... it's kinda what I do.
