You want -5.5 degrees of camber and you wonder why your tires are wearing out on the inside

im pretty much a noob with rx8's so any advice is welcome. iv just ordered some staggered wheels and have gone for an 18x9.5 +26 on the rear with a 265/35/18 tyre, these are planning to be fitted this weekend along with a set of H&R springs which should give around a 2" drop, my question is am i going to be able to get away with this or will i need arch mods to make them fit? and if i do what do you recommend? as ive heard the h&r can drop the car pretty low.

like i said im new to this so any help is much appreciated guys. thanks!!

If you would quite being lazy and read the Will It Fit thread instead of asking to be spoon fed then you will learn yourself and not need us to answer the question for you.

No problem, just trying to get you to understand that posting all over the forum is not going to get you anywhere. Ever stop and think why you have not found anyone running wheels with similar specs to yours while being dropped on H&R's? There is much more to it than wheel spec and spring specs. If you would read, you would learn that. But no, you just expect to be spoon fed.

not really man, thats a valid point and i take it on board but i aint expecting to be spoon fed, like i said iv been scouting all day and reading through the forums, just thought on such a big site i might find someone that has run a setup the same and could give me some advice, and being new i thought one post would probably get overlooked pretty easy. hardly think 3 post is worth bitching about. but thanks for the lecture bro!

Simple and clean. I love it when a stock bodied car looks so good.
