I need more info on alignment settings...

My plans are to lower the car to about 1/2 - 1 finger gap, get the fenders rolled, pulled, and tabs relocated, run 225/255 tires, with 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers.

as far as camber goes, after looking through this thread im thinking -2.9 to -3.1 rear (is that too much?) and -2.6 front.

what do you guys think? what about toe settings?

How much more would you guys say ap2s with 25mm all around would stick out compared to 17x8 17x9 +45?

Since AP2 wheels + 25mm spacer would be about:

Front:
17" x 7.0", +30 offset
Rear:
17" x 8.5", +40 offset

Front
28mm Less Inner Clearance, Retracts 2mm outer Clearance

Rears
18mm Less Inner Clearance, Extends 8mm Outer Clearance

That's on a 7.0" and 8.5" wheel, right?

wouldn't a 8/9" wheel change ur calculations?

I googled an offset calculator for the 7" front to 8" front and the 8.5" wheel to 9" wheel. You could google and do it yourself too. Just put in Offset Calculator.

235 and 215?? Still the same answer i previously posted..You'll be fine..just fender damage is possible


i was running 245R and 215F..stock camber...25mm spacers ALL around with Neuspeed springs (about 2 inch drop..if not MORE) and i DID not rub at all..NO FENDER DAMAGE..even in the canyons...

it wasnt until i switched to coilovers and went lower..then i ended up with fender damage

what are you lowered on??
2" drop w/o any rubbing with 25mm spacers???

Do Espelir springs drop lower than Neuspeed? I'm on Espelir springs with 20mm spacers and the rear rubs.

Yeah..i never rubbed..Im guessing Espelir Springs do drop lower than neuspeed springs...they say espelir is the lowest evenly dropping spring you can get..i think..

70.1 is the correct bore size.
