^ I would think he would a similar setup to Grant which is

18x10 +15

Specs:
Front Fender to Ground: ~23.75"
Rear Fender to Ground: ~25"

225/40 Yoko S-Drives up front
225/45 Dunlop SP Sports out back

Rear camber ~ -3.0
Front camber ~ -1.5

Fronts and rears are both rolled flat and pulled ~5mm

If he’s gonna be +5 in the rear, I would think he would either have to run more camber or have a more aggressive pull. Although Grant is running a 45 series in the rear, not sure what xxxxxxx is running.

He could easily just run more camber like you said. Grant isn't running much camber out back so he should be able to fit the +5 out back by adding a couple degrees of negative camber, which still would put him under -4.

I'm only running -3.5 camber in the rear. If I were to run a 225/40 in the rear I'd go lower so I'd have more camber. The falken 512's run small so theyll fit like a 215/40, thatll give him plenty of room to play with so +5 will be fine. He could easily do a 0 offset up frog with the natural camber. I have -1.5 up front and I'm at +15.

For some reason I thought you were running less camber out back Grant, I guess I was confusing it with your fronts.

It nice to see someone else stretch 225 on a 10. Did they go on pretty easily?

So what are the specs on your rear wheels and tires?
Whatchu talking bout? This is my second year in a row running a 225 on a 10 lol

Rears last year, fronts this year.

Just paid for these I found on my350. Mike's not sure what brand they are, but they look suspiciously like the Stillen rear camber arms. If they are I got the deal of the century as I paid $55 bux shipped from Cali. The Stillens are over $400 new.

Any guesses from you suspension gurus on what brand they might be??

The nankangs feather really quickly. N3000 are a pretty hard compound so they should last pretty long. 225/40 is a ****ty size for the uhp's since they run big. If you have room to play and can fit a 235/40 then I'd go with the 225 uhp's

Yep, after I looked at ebay they might be Top Speed as well. At any rate they have to be better than my POS Ichibas that failed!!
