looks great man, kinda looks like you have positive camber in the first pic though?

[nismobenzo]

it was the angle and i didnt have the wheel perfectly straight-still liked that pic alot tho!

[troskinatior]

Needs camber in the front.

[crakin]

but the rear looks good imo

[simmode1]

Man that looks good...

[RustspecS13]

That seriously doesn't look right, Go get your alignment checked at least, that way you can make sure your camber is even left to right at least.

I would drop it about half an inch and roll/pull the fronts some. If you want to be more aggressive any way, it looks pretty good as is.

Keep in mind I'm almost tucking tire my 205/45/16's on xxr 501 which are 16x8 +15. And I want to get spacers now that my 3deg of camber all the way around gives me room to push the rim out.

what happened to this car being low

[keith0486]

needs to be lowered alot more.

[simmode1]

I agree that the alignment does look like it needs checking, but he just got the wheels, guys. Give him a bit to get it dialed in, right Benzo?

I think the ride height is decent though. 0 wheel gap = A ok with me! Would look even more sick once you get a camber kit and lower it a bit more...

Any particular reason why you didn't go with like... 235/40/17's all around? Did you use the Tire Calculator? Your rolling diameter is gonna be off a little bit now... Good job updating Rimtuck, too BTW!

[240lookis]

more camber in front, a roll and less camber in the rear and lo0oweeeerrr and youll be set

[ILoveMyRHS13]

What happened to the other thread?

these forums are cluttered enough with noob questions and such and didnt wana add to that with mine =P

[Dano]

I dig the look, congrats on the new footwork!

[simmode1]

Can we get a shot to show brake caliper clearance?

[Dattebayo]

It's just my stupid opinion, but I really don't think they match your car at all. They are too shiny and the chrome is way out of place.

they make me feel like i have a new car-ill repaint the car one of these years ;P

Can we get a shot to show brake caliper clearance?

yeah ill take some more pics ina bit before i go to the gymthere is plenty of room to clear stock breaks and suspension

-also i started a new thread because i figured i could get more feedbackby posting a new thread whoring out my wheels-i wasnt getting muchin the other thread but i can continue to update it also if you think i should? ha

[zeause]

So you didnt have to run a spacer in the front to clear your coilovers?

[nismobenzo]

there is like a whole 1-2" break clearance for my stocks...maybe closer to 1.5

[simmode1]

Cool! These should easily clear Z brakes! Thanks!

[ScrapMetal]

Car looks great man, love pig nose hatches.

[nismobenzo]

thanks so much for the + comments guys =Dits defiantly not how/where i want it-but its coming along nicely

REAR FITMENT IS GREAT!!...BECAUSE I HAVE SO MUCH CAMBER LOL

Great?we looking at the same car?

it looks funny because you have so much rear camber, and so little front camber,your front wheel sticks out further than your rear, its out of proportion.

Fix:REAR-- Roll+Pull Rear fenders, run a 5-7mm slip on spacer and run LESS neg. camberFront-- Run MORE Neg, camber! and roll.

Guarantee your car will look so much better.

[240lookis]

PLEASE dont pull your fenders to run those wheels. i have pulled fenders because i am running 17x9 -5.

but i agree with MORE camber up front, slightly less in the back, and a roll all around.

and slam that s***! this car isnt even slammed anymore.

[nismobenzo]

reading the thread helps alot when it comes to posting useless advice ive already gone over

its defiantly not how/where i want it-but its coming along nicely

ive already said: i need an alignment-first i need to put on my rucas/toe rodsand that i plan on pulling the fenders-i have to do this before i can do anything because i barely fit inside the fenders as it is.

my joke saying the fitment was great was only saying that i wasnt rubbing because my camber is so bad-and as simmode pointed out, just got them on yesterday

lol sarcasm doesn't transfer very well over the internet.

but good start on the 17x9 all around +20s instead of the gay 17x7.5s or 8.5s

Move over 962's! Watch out P45R's! Theres a hot new 'cheap bastard' wheel on the scene! lol:uhhuh

dude i HATE to say it but..i have toooo!like i was literally rubbing/scraping tire when i got these on before i rolled them with my jack's pole and thats with the redonkulious amount of camber im running. so once i reduce camber ill be sticking out about an extra inch. it will not be a major pull, going for a subtle gradual pulli want my stance to be closer to this look

quick unreaserched question tho:will getting an alignment allow for less positive camber on the fronts?i have adjustable tension rods-do i need anything else?

[E7-S14]

Buy camber plates ( top of strut)or buy coilover's with camber plates.
