it's kind of hard to judge your fitment since we don't know how much exactly you pulled your rears...other than that though those fronts are super weak compared to either of those options for rebarrelling the rears....if your gonna re-do the rears you should do the fronts as well to make them more even

I have another question/request concerning my setup. I took my car in for an alignment yesterday, had my guy put my stance rear camber arms on, and I told him not to adjust it that much, just basically leave it close to where it was from factory after I dropped my coils so I could maintain a decent amount of camber for my setup to eventually run my spacers. Of course, I go pickup the car and he stuck the rear back to oem spec. both sides are less than -1 degree. I called and got setup for another appointment for Monday, and im just going to tell him what to set my rear camber to, so im looking for input on degree numbers. My front is around -2.5, so im shooting for somewhere around -3 to -3.5 degree in the rear. Mainly im looking for pictures or input on how -3.5 degrees will look on the rear.

Heres a pic of what my camber was naturally set at when I took it in to have all this done, so id like to get back to close to this camber, but the guy didn't note the specs before he installed the new camber arms so im shooting in the dark. Can someone that has more experience than me guestimate what camber I WAS at, because id like to get back close to this.

20x9 225/35 +15
20x10.5 275/30 (will be 255/35 when spacer goes on) +15

15mm spacers to put me at +0 all around.

Basically im just trying to get back to the camber I am at in those pictures ^, I just don't know what numbers those were

Yea i have that on now and it sits at the fender. So would it be smarter to go with the 10 -6 or 10.5 -12?

Question!
My specs on my sedan are 19x9.5 +20 19x11+25
I'm running -4 of camber in the back. I have a 5mm spacer upfront with -2.5 camber, I think i need to push the front wheels out more to match the back. Would a 15mm spacer be to much?

Hi guys I'm looking at some wheels right now and I could really use some help. The seller has 18x8.5 18x9.5 nismo LMGT4 on 245/40 and 275/40 for sale. Here is the thing though he has these on his coupe with no spacers or mods to fenders and they look weak. My concern is that he isn't so sure on the offsets, he calculated +20 f and +25 r.

My question is if these offsets are correct will they work on my sedan with rolled rears and spc rears as well as fronts with out to much neg camber? And if they are correct wouldn't it be more aggressive on a coupe ? Thanks in advance!

SDGenius is running similar sizes, and I think his setup is already the limit without excessive camber.

19x8.5 +22 w/ 255/35/19
19x9.5 +33 w/ 275/35/19

Those LMGTs will sit 2mm more aggressive than these in the front, and the rears will be 8mm more aggressive. IF the sellers estimates are correct.
