Enough to make it fit. You never got an alignment?

Some slight negative camber to keep the tires from rubbing the fenders. The camber bolts for the rear are on the control arms themselves. Their really noticeable from under the car.

Any suggestions on suspension shops around NYC to get an alignment and the camber dialed in? I usually do all my work myself, but I dont know how to adjust the camber nor have the proper tools for that job.

Same here I usually do everything myself. But since I've been playing around with my suspension alot lately I figure I'll need an alignment soon. From customers at the auto parts store I work at, I hear TyrolSport is pretty good for lowered cars considering they do laser alignment. Their out in Ridgewood Queens near Brooklyn. They specialize more in Euro cars tho, Audi's VWs.

I suggest not going to any corporate shops. They usually wont run any kind of alignment specs other than stock.
But if you have never had an alignment you reallllly should get one. I check my allignment every time I adjust a control arm. Dialing in negative camber can really **** up your Toe if you dont adjust the toe arms properly to accommodate for the camber adjustment.

fenders rolled & alignment done in driveway because we dont need racks 😂



Next up may be spacers & remove collars from the rear coilovers

Isn't this the wrong thread for these pics?

I've finally chosen a set of wheels, tires, and suspension.

18x10 +20 with 255/35/18'a on all 4 corners, HKS Hypermax RS coilovers.

Now, I'm not looking to slam the car or run silly amounts of camber, but I'm okay with a fender roll/pull. This should be possible, yes?

It will be close. Will need some fender work but shouldn't need a hack job to fit

I tried searching as much as I could to avoid duplicate posts but no luck.
Looking at getting TSW Nurburgring but they only have a few offsets and I am trying to avoid rolling my fenders and/or adding spacers.

Suspension: Stock height, stock suspension

My best option: (thinking of running square)

Wheels: 18x9 +32
Tires: 245/40R18 Continental ExtremeContact DW

Think this will work?

Thanks,

Fister_Roboto

Awesome! And thanks for the speedy response.

im looking to buy rims on kijiji, and i have a 2004MT, i really dont know much about rims, but i believe im looking for 5 x 114.3.
eeverything in my car is stock

i found a set of these
https://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/W...=zero&SKU=3940

i believe these will fit, but when i put the rx8 in their drop down box, it said that it wont fit my car

i know this might be an UNBELIEVABLE stupid question
but any help would be appreciated

Thinking about getting a set of 18x9.5 with a +25 offset but can't lower it yet. What would you guys suggest tire wise and will I have to cut anything?

Danmn858

iTrader: (10)

with that offset you'll be fine. Especially not lowered. I would go with 245/40

Please post pics. Just because it doesn't rub doesn't mean it is a good choice

hocknscary87

what would give me a more aggressive stance when i lower it, I'm thinking about picking up some megan coilovers at the beginning of summer

Anything is more aggressive than stock....is that a serious question?

Can i fit a 18x9.5 +35 with 245/40/18 square without fender roll & lot of neg camber ??
I'm planning getting a set of d-spec / S-tech
Can i go larger than 245 with this offset without fender work ?

Thanks

yes.....no

hocknscary87

Yeah it was. I just want to get to a point where its low, needs a slight pull and I don't have to cut **** apart. I would llike to know the max size I can go to for that if you could tell me. I'm new to all of this so I have no clue

J8635621

iTrader: (10)

You have to cut **** apart before you have to get a pull.

If only someone would make a thread that showed a slightly conservative thing of what would fit.

Nobody can see past Mr. Diesel's giant nose.

It's fine. That link doesn't show up when I post from my phone which is 90% of my posts now.
