I've seen some guys ride on 25% of their rear tread cause the negative camber was so bad... That much negative looks stupid 2me but then again I daily my car.
"1.5 of negative camber in the front and SPC 3 Arm Camber kit added about 3 degrees of negative camber." -

A little camber upfront with aggressive fitment gives this car a nice stance, and perfect for daily

no you dont, if you tuck 1/2 the tire and run a 235/35 with natural camber from the drop it will clear.

quick question, u read my old dilemna already. running 19*10.5 +42 rears with 245/40/19... dropped on springs... put 15mm spacers and rubbed tire and a little rim like biTSCH... tabs already shaved and everything. rolled and pulled fenders....

you told me to go 15mm spacer but with 265/30/19 and it wouldnt if I got COILOVERS... so GUESS WHAT.... picking up my coilovers tonight ... however my tires have a lot of thread left and I feel its a waste to just go and buy the 265/30 right now...

my question to you is the following... running coilovers, 19*10.5 +42 245/4019.. what is the biggest spacer I can add with out having to switch to 265/30 right now?


thanks alot

Wow. I wonder if he had issues fitting/rubbing. +18 is aggressive up front

I'm betting with the right tire size & less aggressive offset up front from the guy that ran a 10" wide rim on +18 offset that a 10.5" wheel is achievable without poking wayyyyy out there past fender like those tires do on lifted Jeep Wranglers.
Thoughts Mv?
