Or can anyone suggest a good place to get the correct ones from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends on where u go. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 13y 11m 4d Posted 23/11/13 10:33 PM Share Posted 23/11/13 10:33 PM Jax tyres charge $66 for a wheel alignment and this only includes any basic adjustments is toe adjustment. Any additional camber correction is charged at an hourly rate for thei time. Having shimmed the car up myself its fair enough cause its a a bit of a sh*t job to do! As the for the stock bolts being long enough, I have sssl front springs with completely shimmed bolts and have less than -1 deg camber so if anyone tells you the bolts aren't long enough then that doesn't sound right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheersFronts would be ok but I am not sure about the rear, it will go about 28mm further in than a std 18x8 +36 which I think may hit the control blade bolt/mount. A +36 or less in the rear would clear, could someone else confirm??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hearing different things everywhere and just wanna get this sorted, anyone know a really good tyre place in perth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
