Unfortunately, the re-71 will not be arriving on time for my dragon deoarture. I opted for the rs4's instead. Upon first touch, they are not as soft as the re71, but they are .4" wider. I needed to adjust my camber to prevent rubbing, but now my toe is out of whack. Car whobbles when i drove it, like a few lugnuts are loose. Need to adjust the rear toe so i can get it to the alignment shop. Hoping to go no more than -2.8 in the rear, we shall see. On a brighter note, these te37's are so balanced. I needed the fewest amount of weight on each rim

for my car, i had to run 3.3 camber in the rear. i slightly rub on really harsh roads. my spring rate is 16kg all around and i dd my car. congrats btw i have the same size wheels in bronze but running federal rsrr. i know they run a bit wider than most 255 tires. the front im running 3.5 camber on stock fenders with slight pull, nothing extreme

You had to run -3.3 because of the tire or you didnt roll your rear fender flat

Wheel balance is much more due to the weight and design of the tires and how they are mounted to the wheel than the weight or design of the wheel.

I adjusted the rear toe out and the car was able to be driven without skipping. Car feels great, but an alignment is overdue. After i set the rear camber i saw no signs of fender contact with the tire, nor the bumper, so thats a good camber to start with. I wanted to try the famous pose, camera sucks doe
