you don't just purchase camber (per-say) laugh.giflaugh.gif
camber is the measurement of the slant/incline of the wheels, as in the top of wheel leans in toward the car and the rear sticks out away from the car.

^like said before that when you lower a car the geometry of the suspension as altered therefore camber is created/changed
(elementary explanation but you should get the gist)

that being said you can buy CAMBER BOLTS for our cars, which are used to correct for over negative/positive. So in a sense you could uses the bolt to purposely ADD camber biggrin.gif



And back to your setup, very nice thumbsup.gif should be sick once lowered

and if that doesnt do you'd have to heat things and bang them to get even more camber like me laugh.gif

then if that still doesnt get you enough then well.....the fender will just eat tire

Depending if the Miro 111 have room for a spacer poke, I'm really considering getting them in:
18x8.5 +35 all round. +20mm spacer in the rear.

How's this sound? What size tyres to fit them in?

sounds like when you natural camber, it will still come in a bit with the angle. even sounds good if you cut/rolled your lip for slamness.

Question for those of you running 17x9 rims in the front. Offset guide says 33 is flush but the rims I'm thinking about getting come 42 or 30. What I'm wondering is if it would be better to go 42 with a 5mm spacer or go 30 no spacer, and have them stick out just slightly. Are there any clearance issues with the stock strut? I see guys on here running 9+ rims in the front but am not sure what suspension set up they're running.

I'm not so sure, but it will probably depend on how low you are. I think that if you get et30 and you are dropped and want a flush look, you might need some negative camber. If you go with the et42 and 5mm spacer you will be almost flush to the fender without needing any camber. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

New set of rims installed on my car! I took the car for a quick drive around my neighborhood and didn't experience any rubbing, but I'm sure any major bumps would cause the fenders / wheel well plastic to rub a bit.

New Rim specs : 17X9 et30
Tire specs : Falken 225/45/17

Old Rim specs : 17X7 et45

Car specs : Lowered maybe 1.5 - 2in on Tein lowering springs.

No rubbing that I noticed, but then again, I only drove through my neighborhood which has very small speed bumps. This car isn't my daily driver so I'm not too concerned but I'll probably end up rolling my rear fenders and pulling the fronts a bit if I run into issues.

Picking up my wheels next week. They're 18x9 ET28 front and 18x9 ET23 rear. I'll run a 10mm spacer in the rear and use 215/40/18 all around. Car will be lowered with BC Racing BR series coilovers.

Pics soon!

Anyone ran 9.5" on a 6th gen? pics? modds required?
My guards have already been lipped and rolled years ago, and yes I have suspension work and currently neg 3 camber.

I'm looking to get some wheels, and I'm tossing up between 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 all round, wheel make and model will remain a secret but they are the only two widths available and the offsets available are

18x8.5 are: +45 +38, +30mm
18x9.5 are +12, +20, +30 +38mm

cheers.

im thinkin of getting some xxr 530s for my st205, will 17X7 5x100/5x114.3 et35 fit ??
and what tires should i get

thanks
Ehrgeiz
#266
They'll fit.. But I recommend going a little wider if I were you. Just for the extra beef. smile.gif
diegohiga
#267
Yes go wider like 17x8 (225/45/17 tires) or 17x8.5 (235/45/17 tires) leave the 7 wide for scooters.
Another option 18x8 (225/40/18 tires) or 18x8.5 (235/40/18 tires)
Offset 35 is perfect dont get a higher offset than 35.

XXR 530 17x9.75 Flat Black 4-100/4-114.3 [+25mm]


17x7 not wide enough
17x9.75 too big and offset too high. Front wheels will stick out and our cars are 5x100 not 4x100/4x114.3
I would go with the 17x8.25 +35 or 17x8.25 +25 both will fit fine but the +25 will be more flush to the fenders.

Would you consider 18's? Because the 530's are available in 18x8,75 +35 for the front (might need a small spacer), and 18x8,75 +20 for the rear. That would look great.
