Re: Any suggestions
Update- Tomorrow I'll be heading down to Mach V to get some 235/40/17 tires mounted. I enjoyed the ASX's thus far I went with them again. Also getting a rear fender roll and alignment. Any alignment setting advice in here would be appreciated.

Depends on what you are looking for. Extreme handling go w/ max negative camber front and rear (but then you get uneven tire wear) or do you want decent handling w/ good even wear go w/ -.8to-1 fronts and -1to-1.5 rear...just make sure you rotate tires w/ every oil change for best wear results. Toe be 0 front and rear 0to.2.
If you have aftermarket camber plates you can adjust it further.

Re: Any suggestions
I was wondering how much rear camber I could run without uneven wear. So maybe a touch over -1. Praying that I don't rub....

Re: Any suggestions
I'm running -1.4 front and -.8 rear.
Do you have camber bolts to install? I'm thinking you'll ned them.
I do hope your 235/40/ 17s don't rub.
How much drop are you running?

Re: Any suggestions
I run -2.5,-1.5 and wear seems to be fine, although with 0 toe.

Re: Any suggestions
Agreed. I run similar settings on the FXT... I believe the toe setting has the greatest impact on tires.Sabre wrote:I run -2.5,-1.5 and wear seems to be fine, although with 0 toe.

Re: Any suggestions
I think its a 1.5 inch drop or so using Tein H Techs. I have camber bolts installed so should be able to get where I need to be. Last alignment had -1 rear camber and 0 toe all around. Even wear to date. I think with a bit more camber and the shorter sidewall I shouldn't have any problems.
