I have 275/35/19 up front on my car on a 9 inch rim with no problem. I even have enough room to maybe try 285 in the future. Rim design is the deciding factor on their rubbing.

No issues here. Need offset though.

I bit the bullet and after measuring, i ordered 4 285-35-19 and put them on the Brembo wheels and they fit without rubbing.

suspension is stock. I do have -2 camber up front for auto-x but don't think it was necessary to fit.

VID walk around

nice. i'd like to rock those re-11's on a set of 19x10's or 9.5's but there's such a limited selection of good looking 19x10's that can actually fit up front with the bremb-hos. i'm okay with massaging the front fender to bring it out a little bit but I still don't think that'll do the trick. what did you say you were using for camber up front? i couldn't quite make it out in the video. (ford camber kit?)

I used the ford camber bolts and maxed out the adjustment for auto-x way before i put these tires on. around -2

I don't recommend using skinny crash bolts for safety reasons, the ford part is a full size bolt with a large cam lobe and the oem strut has the proper tabs for the adjustment.
