I bought Beezy's wheels (dont buy from him BTW)...still trying to get them to fit right. They're poking out about a half inch at the top and look all Mexipoke. Im sitting on stock suspension and adjusted the camber out as far as I possibly could while still being even on both sides. I think I have to drop it to make them fit right, no?

Thanks for all the info guys.. my fender work is already done.. I did it last season but with just maxed camber lol cuz it was only for about a month and a half of the season.. so i thought I could just max it and match the camber/toe bolts to one another.. my front tires have since let me know that I was very much wrong! haha
So tossing new tires on the front this up coming week and I think I am going to ask for -2.5 fronts and -3.5 rears and to get the toe as close to 0 as possible! thanks again for the help! and if there are anymore specs out there anyone wants to share.. feel free I am sure it will help someone else as well!

I'm curious how did you get -3 camber up front without a camber kit? I maxed out my front with -2.6.

Lots of guys run 245 and 255 all around, some go even bigger. In terms of handling, you'd be well advised to stay away from some of the "mad tyte" alignments, they're good for playing "hellaflush" at the Taco Bell parking lot meets and that's about it.

I learned this quickly. I need a new setup, this is supposed to be a race car. Who wants to trade me for some wheels that actually fit?
