245/275 is definitely not pushing it

- Keeps the diameter very close to stock 1.77% for the back, 1% for the front.

- Maintains the staggered setup. The rear tires are still 30mm wider than the front, however the front tires are bigger proportionally. For a rear tire of 275 width, the front tire proportional to 225/255 would be 242.6. So by making it slightly wider at 245 you dial out some understeer.

- fits without rubbing, even on coilovers (at max height, not sure if it would rub if you lowered it).

Finnegan, adding to what you posted, if you lower the car at all you get a ton of camber for free. At max height on kw v3s I'm at -2.5+ camber up front without any other modifications.
