having more negative rear camber than front will guarantee that you'll understeer into a door of dicks

I want to beat the OP with a set of Karlton flares.

225 on a 9.5" rim....Jesus effing christ

Buy some flares and have the bodywork done to make it run decent rubber

I run a 18x9.5 +22 with a 245/35 and run -2.5 camber. I used to run 255/35 on just rolled sedan fenders. It's not as hard as you have heard.

I am running 17x9.5 +38 with wide 245/40 on an 06 STi -- no pull, just a f/r roll with -2.5 all around. Too much camber for my taste, but it still handles very neutral and does wear tires stupidly.

Also, 11 sec pass is irrelevant to handling.

I ran -3 with 18x10 +25 with a 255/35, now i have 18x9.5 +38 with a 275/35 and running 2.1 lol but im wide body

i get something with an offset in the 30s and run a bigger tire, 18x9.5+40 and 38 work perfectly for your body style you can run a 245 or 255, be flush, low, and have decent handling. kevtron on these forums has 18x9.5 +40 with a 245/40 and it looks amazing

i tucked 255/35/18 +30 rolled pulled, camber was -2.8f and -2.2r. not hard to run "large" tires.

I'm running stock settings on my Forester with 18x9.5's with a 40et on 235/40-18's.

No rubbing after fender rolling. I'm going lower soon, so I'll probably run a -1.5 or -2.

I didn't read everything else, but for reference... I run more than stock, but less than HellaFlush! :P

-3 Front, -1 rear, 0 toe all around. 235/40/17's on a 17x8, +45, only the rear is rolled.

people who rag on impractical setups need thier own thread, all this dude asked was for was advice, not your approval. so what if he wants to run low and slow, nobody is expecting a performance boost from thier wide *** wheels, it's an asthetic thing. to each his own.

Well they're gonna get ragged on when 11second quarter mile is mentioned or when handling is mentioned.
