Wheels.

[vyets]

sorry to hijack but i got my wheels!! waited 5 months, they were lost somehow and now they found it. But it seems they found it in a different colour too.... wtf... no idea but i was happy to accept silver instead of BLACK whcih i wanted.

anyway, here's the specs
Enkei RPF1 silver
17x8+45 with Ku36 225/45 -2 camber no roll
17x9+45 with Ku36 245/40 -3 camber no roll

and amazingly no scrape??? it is lowered to 1 finger gap left rear and approx <2 finger gap front.

You're not scraping because your running -3 degrees and 245 tyres +45 is a easy fit looks the goods man glad you finally got em.

Oh and by the way I would reccomend you roll your front guards before you clip them and pull them out.

haha thanks guys, i am planning to get them rolled soon anyway. So far it hasn't hit anything driving normally but the front's height is a bit high and i plan to lower it further after rolling.

Btw, it's having very very twitchy and light steering response. i've tried going up to 100kph, it feels sort of mmm how to describe... when the road curves, it sort of swerve with it. So if there's like a bump left and a bump right, it will serve left and right. On my stockies with RE001 and stock camber, it doesn't do this but very smooth steering response. Not sure if i make any sense.

IT's just so twitchy and sensitive. Is it to do with alignment settings (due to lots of camber) or tyres?

when i first had the car,it had hankook tyres and did similar thing but tyres were low on tread and had excessive camber wear and when moved to RE001 it was all very good.

If your front alignment is slightly out now, it will track the road easier when increasing tyre width, increasing camber, increasing toe, increasing offset and increasing grip. Time for an alignment.

but i did the alignment. It does go straight in straight line. just heaps twitchy and sensitive and bumps will make it steer off course.

What alignment setting are you running on the front? BTW your car looks trick.

what does look 'trick' mean?

anyway,
front running
-2 degree camber both sides and not sure the toe.

rear running
-3 degree camber. toe is 1.5mm in ?

Booked to get rolled this Friday. Spoken to the guy who did my alignment, he just told me the above and will re-align again after rolling. Perhaps going -2.5degree camber for rear since will have more clearance from rolling.

It means it looks great, i like it!

If you can find out your toe settings are, my preference is 0 toe, however each to there own. Do you know what your castor settings are for the front.

Also a good wheel alignment place should provide (or ask) a print out, before and after alignment.

Ohh haha thanks man.

Yeah i'll ask him to print one out this Friday. Was busy last week had to leave the car with them and forgot to ask.
