Aggressive Wheels & Stretched Tires: Post 'Em Up! [[Some NSFW]]
test them out let us know if they explode on you since you want to save some cash due to camber wear
lets remember that camber isn't the one to be feared at here, if toe is in check then you are good to go. I've been running -3 camber on my tires for the longest time, might not be as nuts as a lot of the guys here but still out of "spec"
there are plenty of tires to choose from that offer great stretching ability and safety but at the end of the day why skimp out on tires? a good deal is a good deal but would be unfortunate for someone to buy some unknown tires because they got a "great" deal and stretch them and have blow out on you
btw if you don't mind me asking what deal are you getting on what sizes? I'm not really intending on busting your ***** but just wondering if I could offer some other options
Apparently cambering the rear doesn't help much when our camber arms are on the bottom. Need to adjust the upper arms but nobody makes those :/
Since dialing in more negative camber really wasn't helping much I had Alex bang the fenders out more. This helped alot. Got the longer toe arms, but they were a bit too long so they were cut and fit perfectly. New design and I can polish them when I get bored.
Camber in the rear is -8 and apparently front was more than I thought, it's -5.5. Toe is set to 0 on both
However, turns out the lower control arm in front needs to be replaced since the bushing went out. I did lower the rear just a tad though. Looks a bit nicer.
BTW, the SC drift car in the background belongs to Alex Pfeiffer...blew a hole in his block, so I guess I don't have it as bad as him lol.

tires that are relatively cheap and easy to stretch are federals but they don't last very long
