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

Those guys on eBay are just reselling these guys.
https://www.privatelabelmfg.com/prod...pw-rlca-sf.htm 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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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

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!

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. |

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
