With camber plates, absolutely. Camber bolts, not so much

Have you mounted the rears yet? I'm curious to know how much, if any, extra room there is out back.

I am sticking to a squared setup...but an 11 isn't out of the question

That seems around 5-9lbs too heavy..

EDIT: Nevermind, i did some math and that's within a couple pounds of what i was looking at. It just sounded a bit heavy at first.

Nice, Bill! I'm sure the pictures on the car don't do it justice. They're really hard to see.

Wepeel · 06-04-2012, 03:04 PM

Good info - so just to confirm what it looks like in the pics... the perch is low enough to be the potential point of interference with the tire? So with coilovers there should be a lot more clearance?

RiskyTrousers · 06-04-2012, 03:56 PM

Thanks for the pics!

How much clearance do you have between the tire and the fender? I was thinking of running a 255 on a 9" +35 and am worried about fender clearance. I'll be running some camber, just dont know how much yet, maybe -2 to -2.7ish.

Thanks!

My RS3s arrive Tuesday and racing next weekend

Good info & Good luck !!!

yes you will gain up to 3/4 in clearance. depending on the coilover selected..
and over all diameter...

So a 17x9 + 35 with a 255/40 will clear the front fenders?

Looks really good!

Couldn't see the wheels....so....

lordtakuban · 06-05-2012, 08:28 AM

Why not go with RPF1's? Should be lighter than rota's and are a higher quality wheel. You would probably have to get them powder coated black or order a set in black if available. Otherwise the silver might not look as good. Still, if this is for autox, it shouldn't matter that much what they look like. I see a lot of people buying the Rota's (or saying they're going to buy them). Just wondering why that is in case I'm missing something.

Also, R*S3's are the best choice you can make for a street tire, IMHO. I have them on my MR2 Spyder (But autox on V710's in SSM). Still those tires are fantastic. Good choice.
