So long as your car's toe is in spec, then you won't be dragging your tire across the pavement as you drive. Toe will affect your tires wear more than your camber will.

Granted, if you're trying to get the most out of your tires and want your alignment in spec, than perhaps the stance isn't in your best interest.

Veterans of this look / style are well aware of the sacrifices and the cost of achieving the look. Besides, most veterans of the stance game will switch out wheels before they switch out tires.

Cool cool thanks konexptionz I like the look but don't think I can keep up with it due to the intense amount of mile I put on my g. I bout it about three weeks ago just under 67 and have already broke well into 70 so as amazing as it looks it's not in my best interests. Guess that's just gonna be a check into the tame for me.

Welcome to my world. Bought my car in Jun '08 with 33k and I just hit 100k yesterday. For a good year or so I was running -8 camber. Really wasn't that bad. If you think about it, it MIGHT be cheaper. I got a full set of tires for under 550 mounted and balanced. I went through numerous tire setups because I switched wheels, had issues with the tires (not enough air pressure), but they would last a good year I'd say. Maybe won't save much, but you'll end up paying about the same as you would with larger, beefier tires with alignment in spec. All depends.

Yeah I'll have to check into it weigh the pros and cons And even if j wanted to the budget is tight for now going into college and paying to drive in Miami is like rediculous tolls and 420 gas prices. Gotta be high to like those numbers. But I do want to get up with the local chapter

i agree ^^ i spent about 500 shipped for all my tires and im at -5.5 and i daily drive my car like 300 miles a week ... had them on for about 5-6 months and i just flipped mine and hopeing to get another 5-6 months out of them ....

i have my toe set at 0 on both sides... if you dont want to run camber or your worried about eating tires then imo dont go this route

I got my Wheels from Vivek Brand new with brand new tires and im running -3.5 front and -4 back its not alot. But i put about 600 miles already, i Daily Drive my G, and nothing no camber wear yet
Only problem i had was i pop a tire but that was my fault on my side for having a full car and low pressure air. Other then that im a happy Camper lol

Few options

Kranze LXs, Equips, Raderwerks etc. I have too many ideas right now. I'm considering ordering a set that works on both my G and Y33(with spacers obviously) but I don't really know.

I'll probably never do 20s unless I find something I can't pass up and they're perfect.

Either 18s or 19s.
