Volk Racing 3's
18x9 rear +35 on a 235/40R18
18x8 front +32 on a 215/35R18

The car is no where near as low as i want it. I aligned the car at work yesterday and got the rear camber to -3.2*, fronts to -2.1*. I rolled the rear fenders, now its only rubbing the rear bumper tab. Hopefully today i can get the rest squared away, get the front down lower and the rear down a lot more.

Lower??? Seriously? For me that is already TOO low. Hell I am at stock height and I have to actually angle my car out of the driveway or the seam on the chassis rubs. I would like to lower the car about 15~25mm though.

Some great cars in this thread, have spent most the day drooling over them!!

For those with experience, what sort of work is this set up going to take-

18x10 ET38 255/40
18x9 ET 30 225/45

I'm going to roll/pull fenders and probaly add a slight flair to them for good measure. I don't really want have stupid camber as its a daily drive, what sort of camber should I being looking to run with the above?

Thanks

Im running -3.2* camber in the rear on my 18x9 +35 and rub like hell.

If i had a 235/35R18 i wouldnt rub near as bad. But the 40 series tire makes me rub

Is that picture before or after the alignment? Can you take a picture of the front view so I can see where the rim sits from the fender. Thanks

In that case. Can I also get pictures all around to see how everything sits. I am going to be running 18x8 +38+5mm spacer= +33 and 18x9 +43. Similar specs to yours. I just want to get a idea of what it looks like. Thanks

What tire specs are you running and how much customizing are you doing to get these to fit without rubbing?
