Yea, dropping the rear some more to level it out. I don't like fender gap, even if minimal

I cheaped out on the rears because I don't plan on tracking it or anything and I know camber is gonna eat em away. Kumho ecsta ast 225/40/18, they were $100/piece from discount tire in town. They had 255/35 hankook ventus v12 or something like that showing wires when I got them. Went skinnier so I could run less negative camber.

Camber don't kill tires silly
I run -5° in the rear


Lots of us here can get good deals on tires. Next time you need them let us know.


P.S. I run the hankook V12's and love them for the price

Ok camber just wounds them, toe+camber does the killing

Wish I had known, figured you guys were tired of me asking for stuff by now lol

Other than the tire eating reason I also wanted to be able to get the lip of my wheels closer to the fender without running a rear spacer. Yea im one of *those* guys.

I run a 235 in the rear for the same reason. Still had to use a spacer though because of my shitty offset. Might get some new wheels at some point but pretty happy with what I have now. Also been thinking about buying two rears with lower offsets and bigger lips and swapping the faces to the new barrels.

So your saying - camber dont kill tires? D what happenend to your star specs? And 100 bucks a tire is good. Im looking for tires now. Either im going to run 255 in the rear, or just stay with 245. Havent decided on the brand yet.

Lol camber does kill tires usually people don't realize their toe is all out of whack when they lower their car so camber and toe combined really eat em up.

255s will probably be more expensive but you can check out discount tires website and it will even tell you what locations have them in stock in town.
