Default My BEST wheel/drop/stance setup ever!

So i finally got around to put on the new wheels.. i didn't want to mess up the rims like I did with my last setup, so i decided to get a camber kit (finally!) The wheels are still semi-aggressive.. not TOO Crazy like some of you kids these days, lol.

After the camber kit.. rolled my fronts a little bit, put on some "semi" fat tires, well at least for me. brought my 235/35/19's from the rear to the front and got some new 265/30/19's for the rear. NO MORE CRAZY STRETCH! which always helps me from being tooo paranoid from just driving.

also.. dropped it a little more! don't tell me to drop it anymore.. cause i won't be able to turn, lol.

OH YEA, minimal rubbing..

Here are the specs..

Wheels/tires:
19x9.5 +22 fronts, 235/35/19 falken FK452's
19x10.5 +19 *3mm spacer used* rears, 265/30/19 falken FK452's

Suspension:
Function Form Type 2 Coilovers

Camber kit:
Megan rear lower camber arm

Pics: (sorry they aren't the greatest quality, iphone pics)

Hey Johnny, see that you installed the lower control arm and you rockin -3.6? did you adjust your toe? my tires i recently swapped out were eaten to hell! In the long run im gonna hit you up to see what your wheels look like.

Back to the post, I really dig this setup. Looks the best for day to day driving. SICK! you need to relax with new wheels every other week haha

Perfect fitment IMO. I'm running the exact same tire sizes as you except with 8.5F/9.5R lol. Do you know what natural camber would be in your rear without the Megan kit?
