17x10 fitment question
Hey S2ki,
Have owned my s for almost a year now and last month i've just installed some coilovers and got all four courners rolled/lipped and rear tab relocated.
For the wheel choice i've purchased Volk CE28N 17x10 +44 & 17x10+45 with Hankook RS3 255/40/17 used for a pretty good deal.
From what i have gathered on killerblackbirds thread is that i'd need a slight flare at the front and run -2deg front and -3deg rears.

Another person who ran these specs locally told me i should be fine at a higher height(i plan on leaving 2-2.5cm from tyre to guard) with -3degree camber all round with just a roll and tab relocate without the need of flaring the fronts
Could someone give me some advice, thanks!

Depends on what tires you use, etc.

Yep, my fronts are rolled 100% flat and shaved/trimmed the liner and the metal tabs. I'm hoping I can get away with just a touch more negative camber without having to flare the guards. Will report back once I bring my wheels to the alignment shop! Thanks
So i just got my wheels fitted and got it aligned, the technician told me he wouldn't lower the fronts any more as he is worried the tyre will come in contact with the guard. So right now its pretty 4x4 height.
My alignment specs are -3.3 fronts and -2.4 degrees rear, the rears fit fine just the fronts abit troublesome.. I have also installed Hardrace offset lower ball joints with camber gain as he told me i couldn't go past -2ish on stock.
What do you guys recommend for my next step?
Much appreciated!
Below i have added some pictures of the fronts (sorry for the bad quality)

UPPER ball joints would have been more useful. Because they bring the top of the tyre inward.
I run 17x10 +50 with 255/40/17 RE71R's (which, admittedly, run very skinny). I have plenty of clearance with -3 degrees all around.

Sell the lower joints, put the stock ones back on and get upper joints to pull the tire in for more camber, rather then pushing the lower out as it is currently.
wide or not, I probably wouldn't run a 245 on a 10". Id sell the wheels and movie to a 9 or 9.5 with same offset in that case. But I would strongly consider pulling the front fenders rather.
