It still looks so flush in the pic...was expecting poke city (or maybe they space out once tyres are on and weight is applied lol).Look killer!

Don't tempt me.Would if I could. Unfortunately, NSW State time attack regs in Clubsprint only allow for 295 max width for 2WD cars (265 for RWD).

nelsonian101 Donating Members 961 Member For: 16y 6m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 11/09/15 11:44 PM Author Share Posted 11/09/15 11:44 PM (edited) Had the 295 30 18 track tyres fitted on the 18 X 10.5" +22 rims but have run into problems.The rear camber could be adjusted to 2.5deg negative (with the aftermarket yellow arms in the pics) and the tyres even came close to tucking under guards , BUT the problem was the toe began to change far too much at that camber.Had to back it off to 1deg negative.My question is, is there am after market lower arm that allows tow adjustment at high neg camber?I'm testing the rear set up at a Hillclimb circuit in Tamworth (Oakburn Park) on September 20th with the raised spring seats.If nothing scrapes, then I'll try dropping the rear a bit lower with the stock spring seats.(Have a lot more pics to upload, but computer says "No".
