Camber

Yo what up everyone...I know this is a newbie question so I'll take all the newbie remarks from everyone...I'm gonna get rims and some tein basics...do I need a camber and with what widths is it necessary or just recommended??? Thanks...

P.S. I'm looking at a 245 or 255/35/19 for the front and a 275/35/19 for the rear

Just had my G lowered with Tein S-Tech and did not need a camber kit.

G6MT - could you post your "after" alignment specs? Once again I've found myself considering a drop for more negative camber...

You have to remember, I purchased my G with custom wheels and they probably never re-aligned the car after doing so. but my post shows what the specified ranges are. That I would assume should be a starting point.

G6MT - thanks for posting your alignment specs. Not sure if I agree with you about not needing a camber kit since all your camber is considerably outside the factory recommended range. However, I have seen quite a few folks running with that much negative camber in these forums. Do you ever have trouble with hard launches in a straight or is wheel slip a non-issue for you? Any sign of early/excessive wear on the inner parts of your tires? I'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks,

Mike
