Would you change this setup?
 
Currently...

9.5" +25 front w/ 255/40/18 and -2.5 camber
10.5" +15 rear w/ 285/35/18 and -1.5 camber

I just bought 4 285/35 RS-3's so thinking square wheels also. I put the rears on the front and on the back I put the 20mm spacer that was on the front with the rear wheels.

Future??

10.5" +15 front w/ 285/35/18 and -2.5 camber
10.5" -5 rear w/ 285/35/18 and -1.5 camber

Should I do it?

i would just leave it.

Just cause of buying/selling?

kenchan 08-25-2014 04:37 PM

no, the before setup looks performance oriented at least, the after setup is so aggressive your tires poke out the arches. are you changing spring/damp setting to compensate the softer wheel rate?

kornflake7 08-25-2014 05:19 PM

10.5+15 up front unless your doing more camber looks dumb and doesnt match the rear

Or, if after stays, roll the fenders (joke, (meby?))

softer wheel rate? never heard that term before. the suspension now is 2 ways with 18k/12k true types.

not following. my pics look matching to me as long as i do the -5 in the rear.

the Z1 track car i believe runs 10.5 +15 all around. so the front should poke then and the rear should be sucked in. not sure how much camber they're running though.

yah, it's the suspension stiffness measured at the wheel. since you're pushing the wheel away from the car, it gives more leverage thus softening your suspension. again, i dont know your application so dont know if thats going to be a big factor or not.

kornflake7 08-25-2014 06:38 PM

it doesnt look right if you wanna keep the same camber specs is what I'm getting at. I'm not a fan of poke like that looks silly (me personally)

gomer_110 08-25-2014 08:48 PM

For reference:

Front's are 18x10 +30 (-2.2* camber)
Rear's are 18x11 +18 (-1.8* camber)
295/40's on all 4 in this picture.

IMHO Syno, get the same Enkei 18x10.5 +15 wheels the Z1 PWC race car is using along with a set of spacers and extended studs for the rear and call it a day. This will also give you plenty of wheel to throw even more rubber on down the road if you want. (315's :yum:)

What kind of canards are those bro? They're sick

Makes sense. Well at one of the stiffest I've seen here if I do change it I'm not to worried. Cars getting built for track like mid ohio, VIR etc.

Me either. Need fender flares I guess.

i see... with a tad softer ride resulting from the aggressive offsets, you might actually gain more traction with the right tires. GL :tup:
