Even autocross racers run 3-5 degrees of camber in the front and 0-2 in the rear. What's your point? And besides this is the WHEEL FITMENT QUESTION THREAD not the roll center, suspension geometry bla bla bla thread

Understand? I probably understand it more than you. I'm currently studying mechanical engineering at North Carolina State University and plan on getting a job in the automotive industry so, yeah, I think I understand why 3 to 5 degrees of negative camber in the front is good for drifting. I was just wondering what offset people are using who have similar camber. I guess I could do some math and figure it out, but I would rather see some examples or someone with experience to show me a good fitting wheel.
Thanks
K Mr Mechanical Engineer, so do you understand that there's a big difference between running 3 to 5 degrees? If you said 3 degrees, I probably wouldnt have said shit about it. Theres a big difference in alignment settings, all depends on what you're trying to do with the car. Just the fact that you acted all fanboy-ish about it, is the reason I started questioning your understanding. I still doubt you do but fuck it, who am I to know? I'm not college educated like you since you wanna throw that shit out there.

But suggestion for you at this point is jump into rimtuck and see what people are running, copy somebody's setup in there.
