No, they are concave, the pictures really don't do justice to the depth. I think the 9.5" wide versions you seen in the 18" size have more of a concave depth though.

Finally got our wheels mounted up! Taking her to the track for the first time this weekend! Can't wait.

Is that because of adding margin to the safety factor? It seems high or that is really what is required to fit those wheels/tyres?

*KID* · 04-06-2013, 12:05 PM

I think its cause its functional at that setup of camber. It should fit without any camber adjustment

vtmike · 04-06-2013, 12:23 PM

It is 255 at 9 +38, you'll need camber to get it within the fenders on compression.

His numbers are higher than what I've been seen so just wondering why.

-3.0 and -2.6 were the specs I aimed for. I had them on my miata and liked the balance, so I thought I'd start there with this car.

With this tires, it would have to have camber adjustments. It rubbed the front passenger fender this weekend while we were at the track.

Camber plates are maxed out in the front. We couldn't get more camber if we tried right now.
