@dito just wondering how you achieved -4 camber in the front? When I maxed out my top plates the bag rubbed and ruptured on the strut tower/side of engine bay.

Take out the strut, then take a hammer and knock out the plastic clips. Also unscrew the metal nut from the engine bay.

I run 18x9.5 +22 in the front. You should be fine.

this only concerns the stance guys who are looking to go for aggressive camber.

managed to get -8 degrees front camber on 18x9.5 +5 with good bag clearance from the inner strut wall and the barrel. Achieved this by using a pair of Racer X front lower control arms.

You have a staggered set up??

Hey did you get enough clearance even without the front lower control arms?
I remember last time I asked you about the inner wall clearance on the driver side. I ended up popping my bag thinking I made enough clearance by hammering the wall. Trying to make sure I have enough clearance all around. Thinking about raising it up some as well.

Yes i had enough clearance before the flca. hammered in the inner wall, took out all the clips and bolts. it helps that i not running a fat tire on the 9.5 as well so theres no tire on bag rubbing issues.

This is my current setup. I wanted to know if I will clear

18x9.5 +24
Tires 235/45

I was thinking about getting some 5 or 10 spacers.

Did you have to slot your struts to get that much camber before the flca's? I haven't played with my plates yet as its on full postive atm but I'm guess maxing it with the 14mm crash bolt trick and camber bolts on the lowers holes wont get me that much. I also got some oni camber plates on the side but I might just sell them since I havent heard of anyone running it on our airlift struts due to the inner wall clearance issues

Are you on bags or coilovers?

Izanagi · 03-29-2017, 12:44 AM

Hey guys, suspension newbie here. I currently have 18x9.5 +35 (235/40) squared. Will I run into any problems with rubbing while driving? If so how would I go about fixing this?
Thanks!

I guess I'll find out for sure next week lol

EDIT: Should read 265/35/18

so would you say that a 18x9.5 et 35 would clear the bags?!
