Alignment Specs for 17x9 245 tire setup
I'm going to get an alignment done pretty soon here and would like to know what specs everyone is running. I have 17x9 +45 rpf1's all around with 245/40 tires. I'm tryin to figure what the best alignment would be in order to have the best contact patch with the least amount of tire wear. Thanks for all the help in advance.
Toe-in is the number one killer of tires.
I'd go with zero up front, ~0.15 to 0.3 degrees *total* rear (~1/16" to 1/8" *total*).
You can run up to 2, even 2.5 degrees camber and still get reasonable tire life if toe is kept minimized.
Depending on suspension setup, you may want to run less front than rear camber. If you have a stiff front bar, I'd go ~2 degrees all around for a good street/track/autoX compromise. Stockish suspension, maybe ~1.5 front, ~2 rear.
More or less, depending on which direction you want to compromise.
