Oakos also has 2 staggered setups in gunmetal, 18x8.5/9.5 and 17x8/9. Decisions, decisions...

A member PM'd me and asking to see a couple more pictures of how my wheels fit and whether it tucked or not. Decided I'll post them on here to help people out. The wheels are 17x9 +35 on 245/40 Hankook v12s. I'm on Fortune Auto coils dropped about 1.75 inches. My front camber is 2.5 degrees and the rear is 2.3 degrees. Camber on the front is from the OEM camber bolt and close to max camber plates. The rear is natural. I really should learn how resize pics before posting...



That's my ride height. I would say its about a 1.75 inch drop. I'm on Fortune Auto coils.



That's my top view of the front. My camber settings in the front is 2.5 degrees. I used the oem camber bolts plus close to max on the camber plates. The top of the tire is tucked in but you can see the bottom pushing out quite a bit.



Here you can see some more of the camber and how much it pokes out.



The rear is about the same deal in height.



The clearance from tire to fender in the rear is basically the same as the front. I only have 2.3 degrees of camber and it fits very nicely without the top of the rim poking out of the fender.



The tire sticks past the mudguards on both the front and rear and it gets sort of annoying because it throws water all over my white car so I'm forever dirty.



And one more pic of dat ass. I don't think I'm on level ground for this one though.

From others experiences that I have read, it will fit. The inside of the front tires will get close to the spring perch when adding negative camber to bring in the poke, as the front will poke without negative camber, but it will clear. People running +45 offset had clearance issues where they had to run front spacers to dial in more negative camber.

I don't want much negative camber, as this is my daily driver. Somewhere between 0 and -1*. I don't want to be down to the cords on the inside of my tire and have 100% tread on the outside. Maybe I'll stick with +45 and keep my wheels vertical.


I wish I could find a 17x9 +38.....


So 17x9 +45 with 245/40 and a 5mm spacer in the back in SBC is the plan I guess...

stock range of camber on alignment can go as low as -.08.

im running about -1.6 to -1.7 ish camber in the front with Whiteline camber bolts with 17x9 +35 rpf1. car is lowered about 1.2".

to my eyes the wheels do not poke in the front and i'm not concerned about tire wear. Toe is what destroys the tire. Camber wear wont be bad especially if it isnt lower than -2.0 . . .

my advice is get the +35 and dial in negative camber. it will not destroy your tire... rotate your tires at oil changes or every 5k miles and you will be good to go
+45 rubs stock struts and tie rods...
