15mm on the rear of mine rubbed a bit. 9.5 et35. FYI

lol i take that back i'll be sticking to 12s then. since 15 will rub. i have the same set up 9.5 et35

I think it's a good call. 10-12mm should be ideal. I would definitely look into if you don't have them already a camber kit for the rears. Before I put the 15mm spacers on tire wear was very minimal to normal. After, burned through them in 5k miles. Just what I incurred myself.

Camber kit is definitely the way to go.

hmmm.

i didnt think i would need a camber kit. lol curious to see how long these tires will last. but yes i should get a camber kit

Springs + spacers = camber kit

What does:
No Springs + Spacers = ???

Mka77

Have never been that route. Is that your setup?

bheng

how much is ghost riders kit? and how does it compare to any other kit offered for our cars?

Mka77

I think it was 170.00. Compared to the others, a 1/3 of the cost and just as good if not better. Everyone I know that has the kit is extremely happy with the setup. You might shoot him a pm.

Currently. I bought Ghostrider's Camber Kit, but I've since decided not to change my springs because I'll be scraping to much on these LA roads (Daily Driver). I'll install the Camber Kit if it's still necessary for correct settings (Bilstein HD Shocks- 19X9.5 rear wheels-ET35; the insides of my rear wheels show more wear than the outsides).

Any thoughts?

Mka77

That's a sure sign the camber is off with wear on the inside. Is it normal wear or excessive? How many miles are on the tires?

dynomite05

I would install it anyway.

bheng

before i lowered my car, tires always wore out faster on the inside vs outside...

I have about 18,000 on them now, but all on factory springs, the first 100 miles I had H&R springs installed (the wrong version; v6; you know the camber issue), but then installed the factory springs.

That's my gut feeling, just want a few opinions.

That's a +1 for factory (springs) inside (rear wheel) wear, thanks Brian.

You would be hard pressed to follow most euro car and not see some negative camber. That is what creates the great handling characteristics most have. It is built into the design. Minimal wear is ok. When you burn through a rear set of tires in 7-8k miles it needs to be addressed.
