thought id share some info since the car pictured is my car....my bro-in-law posted it up....i havent been on the forums in a long time....well anyway
as for the life of the tire....i havent changed the tires i got the car in 03...the springs are the DF210s tanabes on waydo shocks. there are absolutely no cambe problems. im running 10mm OTG shims plus and extra 3mm spacer so basically 15x8 -13 offset....only because i have flares...i had to roll my fender only because i had to space out the wheels....without the flares they barely rubbed...i did roll the fenders but its not as bad as you think..the ride is soft not harsh at all. its a 185-60 tire so its not low profile at all....if you want more pics to see the stretch....your more than welcome to email me at mikeseez@***.net if you can get someone to mount them for you then cool. its a bit tricky mounting them.
i have a 1973 skyline with 15x10 and 15x8.5 watanabe wheels and i run 225-50 tires on the 10" width and 195s on a 8.5s so i figure ill be fine running the 185s on the 8s...hope this helped a bit..

all my fenders are rolled....had to because of 13mm of spacers....but even without the flares, you dont have to roll the fenders to much...it will rub but its not that bad...if you could borrow a roller from a friend its pretty easy to do....if you really wanna go budget...a baseball bat and a hammer and your in business but im sure you want a clean roll...
heres some old pics of my skyline...there are a bit old....still same paint scheme but the engine bay had more work done and more polished parts...
