he didn't do it the first night and he learned the lesson

 

LOL. I had no tools to trim the fender (at the time ) and I had to get the new wheels down to jawnthen's house to test how much to trim. This means I had to mount the wheels. Just that 25 minute drive was painful.

 

i suppose you drived like a snail to avoid any bounce?

 

Come on, guys. A little camber won't kill ya. D had his at -2 for a long time and he vouched there was no real tire wear that he could see.

My camber is MAXED OUT I think but that's only so I could clear the inner fender when I have the airrunner at the lowest setting. The ONLY reason I can do this is because I barely drive the car. Again, if you commute many miles daily for your work or chores, then of course, I would NEVER recommend anyone to do what I did. But, I will stand by what I said, you don't need a perfect 0 camber if your only worry was tire wear. Believe me, the tire manufacturers design their tires to take a lot of abuse, I mean, it's really the only thing that's between all that horsepower and the tarmac right?

Here's a pic, I didn't even bother shaving anything down, I just took off all the plastic lining... (this is +24 front and back by the way heehhe)

 

Hmmm... 24 you say..
edit: what size wheel do you have (width)? and what tire sizes are you running?
thanks in advance

 

hehe, actually for best performance, camber should never be zero. even out of factory the spec is a bit negative, that's all for handling. if you have zero camber, you actually will have more outside wear.

 

he has 10 +24, tires... i forgot

 

rominl, does he have 10 all around or stag.?

 

Actually, Jon's wheels specs are:
Dronell BR version 2 3-pc forged
20x8.5 +24 /w 225/35/20 tires up front and 20x9.5 +24 with 245/35/20 in the back

damn...... i hate when i am wrong..... sorry about that

 

i think im going to sell my hres and go for a more aggressive look...

 

That was with Nitto 555 and no burnouts! (stock GS400 with exhaust will not spin those 275's!!).

I just dont want to end up in court when someone with a softer compound experiences wear and says "but D2-AUTOSPORT said it was fine!!!" I can speak from my PERSONAL experience, with the Nitto 555 the wear was nearly non-existent, I am getting another set of these tires based heavily on their durability.

 

HEheheh D. No one is gonna rag on you for speaking the truth!

 

hahha very nice disclaimer there man

 

ROMINI, how wide are ur rims and what size tire are u usig? i want to know if a 19x9.5 w/38 offset will rub with fat tire setup?
