Yep same here, got -2.3 or so minimum. As the car went in for alignment after my coilovers were on, it was originally at -2.7 in the rear
What I was referring to was stock with no mods to the car. With mods, they will vary.

That is awesome if you get those numbers stock.

Wrong.

The problem is your wheels are the wrong offset for the car.

well, whether or not if the wheel offsets are right or not, you still have a conclusive problem, which is the tires rubbing on the fenders.

Just have to get more camber in or roll the fenders to fix this problem.

come on people, let's be the problem solvers, not the problem makers.

that offset IS s2k application. Most s2k owners that run Volk wheels run that exact offset. He just needs to get 215/245 and it should be fine. As for alignment, I've also heard many people run -3.5 degrees.

That offset actually isn't really bad. Are you slammed or something?

tbone,

just jack up the car and adjust it to the stop to see how much you can get. it'll be obvious what to adjust when you look at it.

OK, don't do that unless you have some way to measure the toe first. the camber is pretty easy to measure with a level, a ruler, and some simple math. There are tools to check the toe all over the internet.

it's a balance between toe and camber. you'll see what I mean when you start messing with it.

toe wears the tires, not camber. I heard that on S2ki, but didn't believe it until I went through 3 sets of tires and then changed over to the UK specs.

I say do it yourself unless you have a shop you know and trust. I think most of them just take your money and then smoke a cigarette. I've had terrible luck with alignment shops.

Good luck,
JASON

Both toe and camber wear your tires but the toe in scrubs your tires more so than camber.
