If you're running spacers in the rear, why not step down to a smaller spacer, that way you can go lower without having to pull your quarters, just a thought, or just dial in the neg. camber

r31 looks good on 15's, very 90's style

wh0aitznic0 · 05-25-2011, 10:20 PM

You seem to misunderstand

jujujdm · 05-26-2011, 05:57 AM

it is no stretch ??

iStayBroke · 05-26-2011, 06:21 AM

Too much gap between fender and wheel.

When he said you must be joking he meant it doesn't belong in this thread.
Which is true right now. Looks like you just need to go lower.

jujujdm · 05-26-2011, 06:27 AM

yes I'm too high ^^

Skilz10179 · 05-26-2011, 07:28 AM

Not sure if it belongs here or the Maximum Rubber thread but here goes...

18x9.5 +10 in 245/35/18's up front
18x11 +25 in 275/35/18's in the butt

SRS BZNS · 05-26-2011, 11:15 AM

I've got a question for some of the cool cats on here.

With a nice aggressive set up how long are you guys having tires last.

I personally am running
F 225/40/18 on 18x9.5 -4 @ -4 *camber
R 215/45/18 on 18x9.5 -4 @ -3.5 * camber
with a welded diff and getting maybe 3000 miles before the tire is completely corded and shot 5000 miles if I swap them around to use each side.

Does it sound like there is something seriously wrong like my Toe is fucked cause without putting it on a rack toe looks fine to me

Persona · 05-26-2011, 11:28 AM

Take that stupid welded diff. off and get a real alingment.

The toe can "look" fine. But can be off, even the slightest bit will eat tires fast.

SRS BZNS · 05-26-2011, 11:39 AM

Yeah I should ditch the welded diff but toyota differentials aren't cheap like nissan diffs are

welded diff and toe would be your problem. mildly bad toe you can get away with for several thousand miles, but the diff is probably decreasing it a fair bit more.

twofortydubsix · 05-26-2011, 02:39 PM

all the money spent on tires worn fast by the welded would probably pay off a new diff within a year, but fuck it shit doesnt work like that and thats why i run welded.

I have 215/45 on a 9.5 and -4.1* with a welded and my tires last quite some time as long as I do not drift on them. I would say you have a Toe IN issue.

ayuaddict · 05-26-2011, 05:56 PM

It sounds like your toe is causing your tires to prematurely wear. And what tires are you running? Although unless they are R compounds that sounds ridiculous, I have had Z1 star specs last me 8-10,000 miles (40% of that being hard driving) and R888s last me 2-3000 miles (and pushed them almost every night) with negative camber but close to zero toe.
