You just had to show me up with 10.5. It sucks, the widest weds makes my wheels in is 10. Can be fixed with spacers though. Still my favorite setup from SS (besides mine of course )

To me it just looks like he has about -4 camber or so judging from other pics and also rolled fenders probable with tabs shaved off.

My wheel size is 18x9.5 +15 with 235/40s id imagine thats probably close to what this car has.

RX8inSTL - I'll speak with the owner of that car and see what I come up with. There's a bit of a language barrier but he's a cool guy

Don't believe i Can't, I just don't have need to unless i was breaking loose from a roll or a dig without launching. I like to slide around when i feel like it. I like the look stretched, just my personal preference in looks. not arguing, just different looks for different peepz

Wooo I finally got some numbers on my alignment settings! I know I used to really want to know peoples' camber settings when I was looking to get fitted, so here are mine.

Got my fronts set at -3.5 camber and .1 toe on both sides. My rears are at -5.6 camber and .13 toe on both sides.

My alignment guy said that he didn't zero my toe because these toe settings are factory settings which means there's a reason for there being toe. Nawmeen??

And yes I'm running a butt load of camber :D I'll post a picture of the paper later today
