I’ll give you a call tomorrow. Thanks

Sounds good !

20x11 with a 305 tire is the same height as my GT wheels.
Your 315/35/20 tires are 28.7” tall. 305/30/20 are 27.2”. Stock 255/40/19 are 27” tall. With those aggressive lowering springs that’s why you’re rubbing.
again, there’s tons of people running 20x11 on this forum and Mustang6G. I feel like adjusting your camber properly and running a 305 will be damn flush. I’ve done far too many hours of research on Mustang6G and I’m just trying to save you the time of doing the same
@Project6GR Wheels has multiple threads showing the fitment of their wheels which are the same offset as the HRE’s unless I’m mistaken but a quick search shows they’re the same offset.

I’m not rubbing.

Your tire heights are wrong. I’m running 30’s, not 35’s. They are .2” taller than stock.

 

[FFCobra]

Sounds good !

So everyone knows, what offset are you selling for 11” wide rears? Thanks

I did 11" HRE's with 305s and I think it turned out just fine.

when you have a minute could you take a picture like the OP does up close to the fender? Would be nice to compare and have for reference! Thanks!

 

[FFCobra]

Sure thing!

that looks perfect to me. What’s the setup?

 

[FFCobra]

Wheels are 10" wide ET35 (f), 11" wide ET50 (r);
tires 275/35 (f), 305/30 (r)

‘what’s your rear camber? It looks great. I wonder if my wheels are the wrong offset. You’re not running anywhere near as much camber as I am and it looks perfect to me. Maybe it’s my car?

 

[FFCobra]

I've made no suspension modifications. The camber is at factory settings. Glad you like you it, I think it looks good. Honestly, there is just a touch of poke.

‘I don’t see any poke. I hate any poke. About as much as I hate too much negative camber. Lol

This is definitely a you problem and not an HRE problem.

You are right.

It’s definitely my problem. I’m the dumb ass who gave $4,300 to one of the venders on this site thinking the wheels would fit flush without running so much negative rear camber. They should have warned me. But that’s on me.

I learned my lesson and now I know to look for a 53ET rear wheel. I just hope others will read this and know what they are buying before spending $4,300. If they are fine with poke, go for it. If they are fine with the look and performance of -2.7 rear camber, go for it. But if they expect a flush fit without changing the factory camber, they shouldn’t buy these rear wheels.

As for me, it’s not a big deal in the long run. I’ll just buy some other wheels when I figure out what will fit properly and sell these to the first person who gives me a couple of bucks and move on. It’s not about the money to me. It’s about the time I’ve spent doing an alignment, emailing Vibe asking for help with a solution, and mounting tires. I’ve spent 3 days doing the wheels/tires and two alignments.

There is no doubt many people will be fine running 50ET rear offset. Look how many people run 25mm spacers and like the poke. I absolutely, positively HATE any poke. It looks cheap to me. You don’t see any nice car come from the factory with “poke”. As for running aggressive negative camber, it’s better than poke. But I still don’t like that slammed look. I’d rather have a flush look. But that’s just me. Again, people like different things. That’s why these cars are fun to mod.

Well I ordered hre ff10 when I get them in I plan on doing 315/35/20 rear and 265/35/20 fronts. Whenever that happens I’ll update. Just got a bunch of snow so probably not anytime soon lol

stop blaming the vendor. And your camber isn’t anywhere near bad nor making it look slammed lol. you bought an 11” wheel and didn’t think you would need negative camber. That’s definitely on you and nobody else.

Someone Explain to me what the OP means by HT53 etc? im fixing to order 20x10 and 20x11 Velgen wheels to put on 285/35R20 and 305/30R20, just curious. I don't mind a slight camber or anything like that. will also be lowered on steeda progressives

Running a 11" wheel has nothing to do with needing to run an excessive amount of camber. That IMO is a lot of camber even for a street set-up.
It is the Offset that is making him run that much camber.
I didn't really see him blaming anyone just give others a heads up!

Velgens fit perfect. They have lots of pictures showing this.

That kind of negative rear camber is typical for track use but not street use. Depending on what brand and type of tire you will probably see excessive wear around 8-15k miles. Keep in mind also the tire manufactures don't have any regulations for their sizing. So for example a 315/30 for one brand might be narrower then another brand. You can also see this when you look at the tire manufacturers website sometimes you will see Brand A will recommend 11" rim for a 315 while Brand B might recommend 11.5 or 10.5.
