Finally got everything mounted. Wish it wasn't night so I could take some proper pictures. Anyways this thing feels like a boat in the rear and I think it has to do with these funky control arms I bought to camber the rear in

Anyways I'll align it and figure it out

Those guys on eBay are just reselling these guys.

I'm thinking of putting the bigger bushings on instead of the small swiveling one with the black extensions.

Also probably not a bad idea to get toe arms as one of mine is almost seized

It feels like a boat because you paired heavy wheels which are pretty wide with wide tires and on top of that its staggered...

It’s a lot better now, I used the stiff wide bushings instead of the thin ones.

So I did my alignment today and figured out what the boat feeling / oversteer was about. Had .30 and .45 toe out from my new control arms. Made them .1 toe in and it feels so much better!

Generally speaking, a diameter difference of + or - 3% is acceptable.

215/45/17 is 24.6" diameter (stock size)
225/45/17 is 25.0" diameter +1.6%
235/45/17 is 25.3" diameter +2.8%
255/40/17 is 25.0" diameter +1.6%

245/45/17 is 25.7" diameter +4.5%

For size comparison, in the pics above of the 275/35/18 on the rear has a diameter of 25.6"

I have seen a few guys run a 245/45/17 without rubbing on a 17X9 +38. (rubbing will also depend on how much you are lowered)

It will change your gearing though. For DD, I don't think it would be that bad. For track, 245/45/17 is not ideal.

^ Hello fellow Torontonian.

Current setup is 17x9.5 +36 TE37SL vs. 17x9.5 +45 TE37 Saga with 3mm spacers last year. Both sets wrapped in 255/40 and -3.3F/-2.4R for camber. The Sagas rubbed at full lock but no issues with the SLs. Concavity is much better on the SLs and makes the Sagas look flat in comparison.

So aggressive, I like!

AKITA · 05-04-2020, 05:47 PM

I have the 18x8.5 +35 with 245/35. I think the 245/40 17s like that probably a little better ride still looks good especially if you drop it over an inch.. so props I like it. I don't really want to drop mine over inch because I don't want that much neg camber in the back and toe in. I don't want LCA and links in the back at this time. So my 18s look a little better in that scenario, but they don't ride as good and tires are more expensive
