Tried running more camber (-2) with current setup, It gives more scrubbing due to the angle of the wheel, and as i said before I am scrubbing on the top.

You are right 255/35s will fit if i wasn't so low.

As to my new wheels, I will be running they will have + 28mm poke and as I can not decrease the camber anymore without incurring more scrubbing, I will need all the mm at the top of the tyre I can get, doing so by running a smaller tyre with some stretch.

A simple solution would be to change my ride height and run the preffered bigger tyres as you suggested and increase my camber.

Rears are perfect, fronts are hell mexican
If you are after the "stance" look go for it but will handle like shit on the tracks unless you're drifting
imo point of getting wider rims is to get more rubber contact to the ground putting on stretch tyres defeats that purpose lol
