I.... wow.. this was exactly what I needed to hear.. and I believe I've seen this reply from you in a couple other places. I remember specifically the sway kit name and honestly coming from certain drift/grip setups, 2 degrees of camber is NICE. I could take that.

I would love to run a wider setup up front but I'm already running in to some rubbing issues that have got me a bit stumped, so I'm very quickly trying to figure that out. Would love to tuck maybe a 215 or 225 or larger depending on how much more clearance I'll be able to figure out. I come from tracking miatas and some older porches and drifting 240sx/ae86/rx7's so ride quality should be all good from what you were saying. Shocks right now are just the 3 way adjustable comp engineering but already saving for some bilsteins/ looking in to others. The sway bars are definitely something I want to be adding but kind of and in a fun way I would love to take it out to a track once without them and then again after install just to really see the difference. Everything in steps I guess.

Thank you again seriously

I took @72bluNblu 's lead and was able to fit 255-wide 26" tall front tires on 18x9 Mustang wheels with '73-up front disc brake setup. No rubbing whatsoever. My old tires were 215s but 27" tall and they occasionally rubbed. The height of the front tires affects clearance more than the width. IIRC he's running 275-wide front tires on his Duster but had to add some thin wheel spacers to keep them from rubbing. I can't remember the aspect ratio of my tires, I want to say 40 but I do remember they are Continental ExtremeContact DWS-06

EDIT: I'm also able to fit 275-wide rears on 18x10 wheels since I swapped to a B-body 8 3/4" rear end from a 1967 Coronet. I had to roll (smash with a sledgehammer lol) the rear fender lips and they still rub a tad in certain situations but it works well.
