NEW WHEEEELS!

[RustspecS13]

Adjustable tension rods are for setting caster, which makes your front end more stable at high speed and makes the steering wheel return to center faster, and un even caster can make it pull left or right. More caster is more stable vice versa.

Most coilovers have slots in the top for camber adjustment in the front. Some also have the holes that mate to the knuckle slightly slotted to get more camber.

Your also going to have to tell them what you want or they will try to go for factory camber, which is max 1.5ish neg in the front and 1.6neg in the rear.

My car is slammed and I have 1.8-2 deg in the front and about 3.6-3.8 neg in the rear. I need rucas so I can dial out a bunch of camber. between 2-3deg is a good spot for tire wear and aggressive cornering. But it also depends on how you want to fit your rims.

If you want you can aim me, because all I do all day is alignments.

^ Good info right here

That doesn't look too bad, i would run a 225 in the rear but that's my opinion.

Do not. do any pull, on any fender, with those rims. I will hunt you down, I regret doing mine and my rims are more aggressive than yours by a long shot. Just finish rolling those fenders, they're not finished, and obviously your camber is out of wack. so get with it, get it done, and lets see it.

do u see the roads in the last picture of my first post..i need to reduce rear camber and it well def rub if it sticks out .5-1" more

so im basically screwed with the front camber? niice..wonder why i never had a problem before

if you were worried about your tires rubbing a little you should have bought aggressive wheels, so now don't puss out, i'm lower than you with a body kit and i daily mine.

for your front, camber plates are like 150~~ for a pair, its all you need and your good.

[nismobenzo]

no matter what you say-im not going to ruin my tires just because you say ur opinion lol ..AND JUST FOR FUN..

[nismobenzo]

i know this is off topic from wheels but..i need to repaint my lip for IFO-should i repaint it black or grey to match the car

[Dittoz7]

Real thing I can't stand is how the lips edge just kinda rounds off.

Other then that looking better then before.

[nismobenzo]

you mean the rounded edge on the lip of the wheels??meh ill live-just gota be super careful around curbs

[240sxJoe91]

i like those rims...Im kinda late but oh well

[nismobenzo]

never too late for a compliment =D

but where the hell can i find cheap camber plates?!?!?!i dont have 150 bucks for some new overpriced plates/bolts =[

[StandardProspect]

You could do it the ghetto way, notch the top hole on the coilovers bottom mount with a dremel, but I'd just buy a cheap pair of front coilovers with camber plates.

[nismobenzo]

my coilovers are less than 2 months old..just putting camber plates on would be the most economical and durable

[240lookis]

what coilovers are you running that do not have camber plates?how much camber are you planning on running?and to have good fitment, you need to rub for a bit. if your roll is good, rubbing will hardly affect your tires, and why do you care if some of the treadwall rubber sahves off? it looks cool.

and seriously, DO NOT PULL YOUR FENDERS. you will be mad at yourself the second you do it. these wheels are not aggressive enough.

look at teddy. he is running 17x10 +(something in the teens i think) with no pull, just roll.

WOW, just went on rimtuck. your tire sizes suck dude. did you not listen to any of our advice? 235/45 is significantly bigger than stock circumference, looks stupid and allows for no clearance.

good luck with wherever you go from here.

[ZX88]

lol 235/ 45

[nismobenzo]

WAY TO BE THE FIRST PERSON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY TIRES lol$25 a tire-dont think theres much more to say than that.i like them-you dont. ill live

[Ryencool]

25$ a tire? s*** Id be scared to run on that. I guess you have to pay to look good. I plan on running 16x9 or 16x10, and rather not tuck under the fenders. have to get some flares or somthing.

[nismobenzo]

ill post some pics of the tires when i get a chancei wouldnt have bought them if they didnt look brand new

[Ryencool]

who cares what they look like. The handling and grip has to be pure crap. I guess that doesnt matter if your just going for looks. However the tire size and offset throw that out hte window as well. To each there own though.

[simmode1]

Whoa... Some of you guys are being really harsh over some tire and alignment issues, here. At the wheels are of a proper size and offest.. He'll get them sorted out when he has the chance... I mean, he just got this stuff! And who could pass up some brand new $25 tires?! Hell, I would have taken them too! Beat them hoes up having fun and them get a better size on the next go around. No biggie.

I do agree that a pull seems unneccessary though.

[nismobenzo]

you are awesome dude! haand i just figured-the more you lessen the camber-the more the wheel will stick out or am i wrong? i just figured thats how it worked

[nismobenzo]

well apparently my tires are crap

[nismobenzo]

not much updates..found a 180sx bumper cheapand now i need to research on tucking my harness!!

[Persona]

What are you trying to show with your tires? Wear? Probably from a bad or previous alignment.

I guess he wanted to show the crappy, non-performance trend pattern... Can't expect much for $25 a pop...

So... what did you get new tires? The second pic looks like Neo-Gens or something...

[RustspecS13]

Those are Kumho AST's and they suck. Meh dry traction, they don't really last much more then 20-30K miles and rain and winter traction sucks.

Start saving for new tires.

~Alex

[nismobenzo]

thats a close up of the 25 dollar tires-nothing special but how much do your perfect dream tires cost a piece? either way these will be fine til the drift event next month

[Future_gohan]

are those kumhos? ughhhh.

don't listen to anyone on here about pulling your fenders, don't let them rub, and look dumb. we tried. next noob.

[nismobenzo]

yeah they are legit for getting me to work and back =P

and yeah i never wanted to roll fenders or put spacers unless i HAVE TO..
they rubbed before i rolled them-now that im removing camber i might have to do a much aggressive roll..or a pull

[Future_gohan]

Everybody who has legit fitment has rubbing, My front tires sit in the wheel wells, and as do my rears, in most cases its about 2 or 3 cm from the rim itself, and all you can fit between the fender and tire is a piece of paper. Does it rub? Yes. Does it look good? yes.

Just tryin' to help you out bro. Your only paying 25 for your tires? Then don't worry about them, i've never gone so bad as messed up the sidewall to the point you couldn't drive it.
