Oh I've had the same question for like 4 months since I bought my 2000 AP1 in August....
The previous owner had 1-inch lowering springs from Eibach installed... and it seems that cambers, casters, and toes were all modified accordingly at a tire shop (Butler's Tires in Atlanta, if you ask).
L/R
Front
Camber: -1.4'/ -1.4'
Caster: 5.9'/ 5.9'
Toe: 0 in./ 0 in.
Total Toe: 0 in.
Steer Ahead: -0.01'
Rear
Camber: -2.0'/ -2.0'
Toe: -3/32 in./ -3/32 in.
Total Toe: -7/32 in.
Thrust Angle: 0.00'
I will be purchasing Enkei RPF-1's in 17"*8" and 17"*9" with +45 offsets (since +45 is the most staggered they can go).
I am hoping to mount Hankook Ventus Evo v12's in 225/45/17 F / 255/40/17 R (215/245 if definitely necessary)
Now, without modifying the fenders at all (such as rolling or pulling),
Will I be able to install these setup's as is and not rub the tires? I know it may sound very silly since I think the alignment needs to be adjusted whenever there's a change in height, tire size, or wheel size.
If not, I am definitely willing to adjust the alignment (Camber, Toe, and Caster) to a point the performance isn't lost as long as I can run these setups.
Has anyone done this before? Please help out a poor newb.. (Been browsing S2ki before god knows how long..like 5 years.. and still not getting it right
)
+ I will be getting Tein Flex Coilovers and dropping the height just the same amount (1") in the near future... like 4 months after I get the new wheels.
Thanks you pros!!!!
