Any camber at all on that setup?

I'm thinking with the +38 I should be able to get a little camber out of it before touching the perch.

And that was clearance between the TIRE and perch, rather than the wheel, right? A 225 or 235 might help give a little more clearance too.

Nope..that picture was literally taken as soon as I got home and put the wheel on with the car.... all STOCK ... 235 on 9 would work.. not sure I would go with a 225.. would be to stretched to optimize the tire IMO and yes.. the first pic is taken with new setup and stock strut..

Ok thanks; yeah I'm leaning towards the 235 now, just not sure if RS3 or PSS now.

Scooby South · 11-12-2013, 09:37 PM

In the pic were 245 RS3's...

Touge Factory · 11-13-2013, 03:59 PM

RS3's do run wide.

17x9 +35 RPF1
245/40/17 RS3
Front camber: -2.5 Rear camber -1.8
No rubbing.
Car has been raised slightly from this picture

How long are the RS3's lasting you guys? In terms of mileage and/or number of track days?

My only concern is driving to/from the events on these tires, as it is pretty much guaranteed to rain one of the track days down here in FL. Might have to do a few long distance trips on them to Barber, Road Atlanta and maybe COTA, which is the main reason I was considering the PSS.

Use stock tires on rain days. Seriously.

I can burn up a set of RS3s in about 15 sessions of 4-5 laps, but the norm seems to be around 30 sessions of 7-10 laps.

I have about 200 autocross runs on mine plus about 9k miles or road driving. Still have about 4-5/32nds on them.. almost right at the wear bars now. Bought them and put them on since June of 2012..

I've got the same rims I'm running 255/40 federal 595 rs-r. I got them from onlinetire.com

Wow, that's some pretty serious wear for a 140 or 200 tradwear tire. I'd expect that out of something like a r888 or NT01

What suspension setup? Any fitment issues? Got any pics?

blue_frs · 11-13-2013, 10:13 PM

Megan coilovers. I cant say much for the front as they are 17x8 but as for the rear no issues. I was nervous about the bracket for what i think is the parking brake but it fits fine no rubbing. As for pics look in my profile and posts for look what came in the mail. I got pics there.
