So, any idea on how much should I go for the camber and toe?

This time I got inner and outer tire wear which is weird for me.

Does the size of wheels matter on the tire wear? Cause most people using the 20x10 or 20x10.5

Low pressure and hard cornering are the only two things I know of that wear the outer edges.
Negative camber is to taste. More equals better cornering, less equals less inner edge wear. I'm doing my own alignments now with a level for camber, a wooden jig for toe, and a straight edge for checking if it's even with the body. Caster is where ever it lands with camber minimized. My camber was 1/2" at the top of the tire just ahead of the center, (I'm avoiding the bulge at the bottom) with camber bolts. I set front toe to almost nothing .015" I'll finish this later. Russ

I'm on K-mac bushings now, hope to be back on the road today. It's lowered a little and maxed out at 1/4" camber all the way around. Rear toe is tricky. I'm going with 1/16" total... we'll see.

I did my alignment. And the guy told me that the toe was way out from normal. I will tell you what I got for the alignment. Currently out of town. And FYI the car drive better after this alignment. We'll see what will happen later on or thousands miles drive.

Hi, I'm back now and the car drove well after the alignment. And just change the rear tires to Michelin PSS.

Anyway, I'm selling my wheels. It's a Rohana RC10. Front: 20x10 with Michelin PSS. Rear: 20x11 with brand new Michelin PSS. Easy on price.

I think that is ultimately what I'm going to go with. Do you mind telling me if there is a lot of tire gap with those tires? Or could you possibly share a picture? I'd greatly appreciate it. I wish the PSS came in 255/30/ZR20 but Michelin doesn't make that size, so it's either I go with 245/35/ZR20 up front or just go with a different brand entirely.

What tire size are you running up front with a 10" wheel?

Manofsteelpt

Week gap isn't bad, and I'm at stock height... Have you considered a 265/30 PSS front? if I knew that would fit, that's what I'd like to go with up front. Idl the 245 on my 9" wheel.

Manofsteelpt

Like 1/2 way down there are a few pix to see the gaps.

Thanks! Lovely car btw. I couldn't tell from the pictures, do you have any stretching on either the front or rear with the 245/295 combo? I'm looking to run a 20x9 up front and a 20x10.5 in the rear and want to avoid the stretched look. Thanks again!

Manofsteelpt

Thanks, yeah the front is def a lil stretched, idl it and next rubber will maybe try a 265/30. The rear is fine, but if I can get a 305 back there, I'm def gonna. Car looks mean from the rear, but like a pansy from the front. I also wanna pull those CF trim pieces off the front bumper and get a lip, or wrap/dip them.

So it looks like a 245/30ZR20 is a no bueno for me. Now that you mentioned 265/30, I just realized Michelin makes a PSS in that size. Perhaps putting that up front, and a slight drop to close the fender gap, would look great.

I'm using 255/30 front and 295/25 rear.

Jawzey

Good news for you: 265/30-20 fits up front without rubbing issues. I just had my new wheels wrapped with 265/30-20 and 295/30-20 Michelin PSS tires installed today. Will update with a thread with pics possibly tomorrow.

Manofsteelpt

Awesome, Can't wait to see the pix! I bet that 265 looks beefy up front... How's the fender gap?

Jawzey

Looks beefy up front and in the rear. Fender gap is filled in significantly by the large tires, but some gap still remains on both front and rear. The person who helped me at America's Tire told me I was rubbing in the rear (not height rubbing, rather in terms of width). He said the 295/30-20 in the rear was too wide for the rear, but I remembered that you have 295/30-20 Michelin PSS and you never reported such rubbing. Anyway, I drove the car and didn't feel any rubbing. Might just throw in a 10mm spacer anyway just for precaution. Downsizing is not an option for me. My rear wheels are 10.5" wide and I will not risk having the stretched look with a slightly skinnier tire. I'll update with some pics later.

Manofsteelpt

Yeah man, def NO rubbing in the rear... In fact, I believe there is PLENTY of room to go with a 305 back there. My rear is 11" and an et of 28. Its pretty agresive, Maybe that's why and of so, then the spacer should help.

Jawzey

Good to hear. My rear wheel is 10.5" with offset +27. I don't know why the guy said I'm rubbing. Anyway, I love the look. I need to stop being so lazy and make a thread with pics to share.

Jawzey

Finally got around to uploading some pics of the car and wheels. Check them out.
