Default 17X9+65 on four corners

I just installed TE37's on all corners of the S. 245/40/17's

The question is: with that much more front tire, should i move some alignment settings around?

Thanks!

To be honest, i don't think you'll need an alignment. Alignments are usually done once the car has been loweredd than stock.

anywho...

more pics of your car pleaasssseeee!

what tires are you running btw?

Bridgestones?

my car is lowered, and i've had a couple of alignments done to try and fine tune the balance of the car. but that was with 215's in the front...

If you are running 245s all around yes you should change your alignment settings, but don't expect that to make your car handle anything close to a staggered set up.

I would run very low to 0 camber in the front and -2 or -2.5 in the rear sense you are going to be oversteering.

yeah, they fir like crap!! HAHAHA!!

i like the Mx's. the sidewall isn't as stiff as a tire like the S03 but it has great overall grip. there is alot of void area and that might take away from the total amount of tread area but the tire is wideand works well in the rain. and they seem to get faster the more they wear down.

BTW this is my second set of MX's for the S.
