22” Wheels??

Just dial in enough negative camber to get the clearance you need.

I’ve practically given up on trying to get this thing aligned properly. It has been to 4 different shops, 1 3x and it’s even been to Steeda in Valdosta. None of them have been able to get it right. Hell, when I picked it up from Steeda it pulled so hard to the left I had to take it back, which was shocking to say the least. Everyone says “it won’t go any further”. I have printed out all of the posts pointing out how to do it right from here to no avail.

Looking at your pic you need to add negative camber, or move the top of the tire in. That’s how you’ll get clearance and stop cutting your tire.

After I lowered mine, I had way too much negative camber in the rear, turns out there is an adjustment on the upper control arm in the rear. I asked here for a competent shop in my area and had them align it. Check out post #2 in the following thread

That likely stems from a different issue unrelated to alignment. I had my car aligned a few times and it keeps pulling to the right, mechanic said it wasn't worth fixing because the chassis was lightly bent from a well-covered up fender bender.

My car has never been in an accident.

Do you think the -.5 that I’ve seen mentioned on here will be enough?

Start with picking a wheel width...then you can figure offset from there for how you want the wheel to fit the car...further in or out. For OD stay at 30.7” max.
I run a 30.4” tall 305/35 on a 22x10.5 at +30 offset. This is as far as you can push a wheel out and be flush with the fender...and it’s IMHO the perfect fit for these especially with a drop. View attachment 3977

What wheels are those?

I’m looking to go with the a 22in wheel but the wheel i am looking at is a 22x10.5 but a +28 offset. I see you recommended a +30 offset, is that a big difference or will the +28 work

I've seen people post using +25 to +35 without issue. 2mm isn't going to make a difference. I doubt anyone could even look at it and tell.

 

[UNBROKEN]

That will only be 2mm further outward. You’ll be fine with that.

Okay perfect sounds good. Would you rather the 305s and 22in wheels or the 295 with 20in wheels?

Depends if you like more sidewall or more wheel.
