Default RPF1 17X9+45 All Around 235/40F 255/40R

I am still on the stock suspension and will be getting my fenders rolled with rear tab relocation. I don't believe i'll need a pull.

17x9+45 235/40 Front
17x9+45 255/40 Rear

Am i able to get -1.5 camber on front and -2.5 on the rear with stock suspension?

This is my summer DD and will be hitting the track a few times a year so i wanted to be 100% that i wont have any issues in the corners.

I may in the future throw on the Eibach pro kit but i think i should still be okay with what i listed above....

*Should* be OK...
If I were to get more serious about tracking my S in a modded class, that's exactly the setup I'd go for, to start with anyway...

i have the same wheels and plan on doing 255/40 on all corners. i have the hankook v12's on the rear right now and just waiting to get the alignment, front fender roll, and the front tires to wear a lil more so i can justify replacing them.

So is anyone running this setup on a track car and knows for sure i wont have to pull? Also are those camber rates achievable with stock suspension?

Max camber is going to vary from car to car. I was only able to get 1.3* front, 2.2* rear on mine. Some do get 1.5/2.5.
Lowered a bit if you go that route will give more camber.

Hmm, decisions decisions maybe the 1.3 / 2.2 would be enough as well for this setup idk... I would just hate to purchase the wheels and tires and max my camber and realize it still rubs.

The front is a 35mm extension and the rears are 33mm. I can go down to 245/40 in the back but rather not stretch a 225/45 on the 9's in the front. Ugh maybe ill go with a 8.5" wheel up front even though i dont like the convex face i could eventually throw a BBK on in the future if i ever needed too

The only other option for me at this point would be to run the Eibach pro kit now for extra camber but i really wanted to learn the OEM suspension before i go lower.

Man i hate shopping for wheels.

I'm running the exact wheel specs and tire sizes. My front camber is maxed, and still needed to roll the front fenders. Rear fenders needed a roll as well. I don't think it will work sans roll.

Im aware i will need to roll the fenders i just don't want to pull them, are you on stock suspension?

The fender lip roll and negative camber and you should be good to go.
