Message	negative camber and therefore help me get more tire on the road than simply having more tire. That being said, which would provide the best straight line traction? 1. 285/35/18 with rolled/cut fender (to prevent outer rubbing) 2. 275/35/18 - narrower tread to prevent rubbing 3. 285/35/18 - thinner sidewall to prevent rubbing I dont mind cutting/rubbing if it is the best performance option. I'm sure the handling on all the choices will be reasonably similar... however i'm willing to sacrifice having a bit more understeer in favor of better straight line traction caused by larger stagger
