Front fitment question
 
I bought some new rims and tires. The rears fit fine but the fronts seem to poke a little. The size in the front is 17*7.5 with a +45 offset and the tires are 225-40-17. My front toe is off and I need to get an alignment so I was wondering if I add some camber will it look normal? Also whats the max camber you can run on a stock setup, I dont wanna do it I was just curious. The previous ran this on a s2000 but with 215 tires and I guess his looked fine.

Lookwise, that is equivalent to the look of running a 16-17mm spacer with the OEM AP2 wheel (10mm lower offset plus 1/2 wider). There should be a little bit of poke, but not that much. I think maxing the camber should help the look...I think max without camber joints is somewhere around -1.5 or -1.7, but someone may correct me if I'm wrong. What tires are you running? Some tires are squarer and wider than others. Are you lowered, or on stock suspension?

Im on stock suspension with sumitomo htr z iii tires. The poke isnt that bad at all im just sort of a perfectionist when it comes to these things. Most people dont even notice it unless you really look at it.
Im also planning on lowering it about a inch on eibachs in the future. Im guessing this require fender rolling? Will camber and rolled fenders be enought?

Yeah, that should be fine. You can also take out the tabs holding up your fender liner and replace them with zip ties...the tabs can sometimes catch the tire when the car is moving and can damage the fender.

Btw, shameless plug, but we do sell Eibach products if you are interested. :)

Ok thanks. If I decide to buy the eibachs ill contact you. Not sure about lowering it yet because my car barely clears the garage entrance as is. Ill have to find a way to go lower and be able to park in the garage.
