If you haven't done anything yet, I suggest that you do OEM crash bolts (very cheap) which should give you about -1.5°

Let me know if you want more info.
There's a very nice DIY video somewhere on this forum that I'm sure I can find again.

Thanks!! I got coils and plenty of camber. Need LCA to adjust for the camber I want in the rear, but front is easy. How much camber are you running? Looking to get LCA's but looks at brakes first.. can't decide. Wanted pbm lca, but they are out of stock at the moment. ft86speed factory is making some, so i may wait and see how theirs is when released.

Not going super wide but these tires are fat. 245/40/18 NT01's on 18x8.5 +35 ESM 007. car handles quite nice with those tires

My rear suspension is 100% stock, and I'm very happy with handling and tyre wear.

I've got crash bolts in front giving -1.5° which is a bit less than I'd like (say -2.5°) because I still get substantial shoulder wear. I've thought of coilovers but decided against them for now. The day the guys with coilovers start beating me on track, then I'll reconsider - LOL.

Quick teaser for now. More pictures to come soon. 17x9 +35 245/40

Blizzz · 04-11-2015, 01:45 PM

Running Eibach Sportline springs (1.4" drop).

Dunlop Direzza ZII
245/40/18 Front
265/35/18 Rear

ESM004 18x8 35 front, 18x9 38 rear

It will occasionally rub in the back when hitting a bump hard, but normally it's just fine.

I am on coilovers, lowered about 2". Have not decided on what wheels I want but which specs will be best for the following setup.

18x9 +38 square; 245/35/18 or 255/35/18

I like the 255's (more meaty)... will this cause any rubbing up front, any poke? I prefer a flush or slightly tuck setup. will the 245's be meaty enough?

The 255s will probably stick out of the wheel well, my 245s actually stick out a little bit up front.

Just placed my order for RE71R's in 245/40/18 (18x8.5 et35 Advan RSII) and 265/35/9.5 (18x9.5 et42).

Should be mounted next week. I was on PSS with slightly smaller section width. This should fill everything out nicely.

Can't wait for tomorrow. Almost 10k on my 275/35/18 squared Falken azenis 615k tires and getting the same size in the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Curious to see how different they fit.

what your'e not saying is the tire you will be going with.

255 will be fine. you're on coilover and have the clearance, with the camber setting your want you shouldn't have any issue in the front. rear bumper tab will rub for sure.
