Can someone. Tell me why I need new axles and tires every 5000 miles.
I look in disgust. Might as well put some stick on vents on the fenders too

Oh the old folk in here.

There should be a point where if you don't like the thread, just back out of it. If you have nothing of use to say
then why say anything at all? The question gets answered and the thread disappears. If you read this and feel
you have a need to reply, flame, whatever, I don't care. I don't browse this wheel/tire forum, so I probably won't
see it. Just keep the message in mind. I don't go into your threads saying "you should do this or that", "that this looks
stupid", etc. People have different tastes, accept that.

Whether that is safe or not is more up to the skill of the driver. I drove my Suzuka with -5.5 degrees of camber
with a 235 around all winter just fine, if you don't push your car to the limit and just daily the car, having -5.5
vs -2.5 really won't make much of a difference. If you're doing mountain runs, that's a different story.


Now, to be on topic.

A 10.5 +25 will fit fine with a 225/40 or 215/35. A simple roll and max negative camber will get the wheels to fit.

An example car with the exact wheels you're getting.






If you intend to go lower, this guy has a 215/35 I believe in the back.

I'm not old, I'm in my mid twenties. I just don't care for cars that look like they have broken axles, with wheels and tires that don't fit. I mean, who buys parts for a sports car that actually degrade performance of the car?

^^^ Exactly. THIS IS A HIGH PERFOMING SPORT CAR FROM THE FACTORY, IT IS NOT AN ACCORD.

*** I love the shot above with the fat looking 315 tire in front of the S. and the S has a tear in its eye, like why not me? And notice how the tire is worn across the whole center section width, rather then a 1" swath on the inside from -5.5 camber. The irony of that pic

ZOMG sportz cah!

Please. Why don't people get off of their high horses. Some of these cars are over 10 years old.

Also, this thread is almost 7 months old, let it die.

Can they fit? Yes.

Here's another example:

Should you fit them? It's your car, do what you will.
