Default Need more camber...


This is after about 730 track miles. The tire is a Nitto NT01 245/45 on OEM 04' front wheels.

I have -3 degrees of camber up front, but the tire is pretty streched out on the wheel. Do I need more camber, or is it just a result of the strech job?

I just recently am going to try 245/45/17 on 17 x 7 1/2 and 275/40/17 on 17 x 9. I havent started tracking yet on them but will let you know. I am having a bit of problem with clearance in the front. The rear is ok. I had to raise the car up 1/4 inch and will see.
