Also I am on stock suspension with Swift springs (1in drop front/rear)

Thanks in advance!
Bbarsoum,

Generally speaking, moving down in tire width can often improve clearances. In this case, even with a 265mm rear tire, you will still be at risk of rubbing the fender under compression, especially since your car is lowered.

We would still recommend a fender roll in the rear, as the ET33 offset is fairly aggressive on the F3x chassis. Camber front and rear is also recommended, regardless of tire size simply due to ride height.

Camber in the rear will minimize the amount of fender rolling required. Up front, camber will reduce the chances of rubbing under compression at your current ride height.

I hope that cleared things up a bit!
