i just wanna know how that fit on that Snap on alignment rack?

i just did alignment on civic on one it it was almost not getting on and it was barely as low as that

SlideAlliance · 03-23-2009, 12:15 AM

That car isn't that low. It just has magnificent fender to wheel clearance which is what should happen......its actually like most s chassis on here with fitment. There are a few here and there that will drag aero on flat ground. FC's are exactly opposite haha

dropdtaco · 03-23-2009, 12:15 AM

it looks like one of the alignment racks that when fully lowered are flush with floor,so no ramp to drive up

Camber was whatever stock suspension/that ride height gave me. I'm guessing ~-3.5

The owner of that car had stated he just has the car lowered on coilovers, so the camber is probably in the -3.5 to -4.5 region.

With a more aggressive pull you could get that same type of fitment with -2.5deg camber. A 255/35 would make for a shorter sidewall, but I actually really like the way the 245/40 looks on that wheel - but they look like they're Falkens which run a little narrow/short, so if you were to run a Federal you may want to run a 255/35 or 245/35....others are more then welcome to comment on/correct what I'm saying. I don't have a S13, haha, I run 245s up front on stock/rolled fenders.

Hahahha. Very accurate post.

Car was a stock SR at 13lbs. Could spin those tires pretty easily. If it had over 300hp, it wouldn't have been enough traction.

Yes, FK451's run extremely narrow. Prob equivalent to a 225 Feddy. I liked the way they stretched more tho. Not a huge fan of the SS595.

And yeah he had a 245/40 on a 10.5...its my bro's car I forget the specs of wheels...but damn it was hot

It was quite a bit of camber bro. Car was LOW.

And it will be hot again. Don't you worry.

Ditto. Sorry dude. Some guy put them on his FC and hand polished the faces. Car looked super gay. Wheels looked amazing tho. Haha.

17 by 10-5 225-45 unknow camber 18 by 10.5-23 235/45 unknown camber front needs to be heeeeeeeeeps lower rear needs another 20mm or so lower

Ghostdrifter · 03-23-2009, 08:48 AM

I running with an LS1 with about 400whp, so I wanted to run a 255 or 265 tire in the rear, prob a SS595. I wanted fitment similar to this in the rear.

For the front, the wheel is a17x10 +15 so I was thinking about a 235 feddy. I wanted the front similar to jummytango00's front

Yea my car isnt really that low to be honest, i wanna go lower but if i do i wont fit. That rack is flush with the ground and i actually skim it with my exhuast and its about a credit card high from the frame

We all know that zipties, even tho very convenient, dont do a very good job at holding bumpers on.

I dont care, I rock em, perfect bumper fitment is for show cars.

Edit, azndrifta, what brand front tires are you running?

No, if you cant make 6 zipties hold your kit on perfectly, you are doing it wrong.

obarrera · 03-24-2009, 04:14 PM

Camber plates are maxed out, and im gonna get the chuki bumper, might get a lip for that one. Where can I buy some camber plates so I can get more - camber?

O3DigitalBath · 03-24-2009, 07:19 PM

^are you sure they are maxed out to give you more camber rather than take it away? And you can add some more at the bottom where its mounted to the spindle.

obarrera · 03-24-2009, 07:58 PM

Im not sure about the bottom, the top, yeah im sure, I can even take some pics.

So since im probably gonna have to go with 25mm front wide fenders, I was thinking of 30mm rear fenders too, but with my rear wheel sizes, do you think my car will be flush even at around -3 camber? The thing is, I WANT camber, but I also want it to sit flush with the 30mm fender even at -3 camber, don't want sunken wheels. My rear wheels are 18X10 +5 to whoever knows, please let me know what you think..

This is how it looks with pulled fenders
RULES:

cc4usmc · 03-24-2009, 08:01 PM

I have the same problem. I need to get wider front fenders, but don't really need rears. =(

obarrera · 03-24-2009, 08:08 PM

Yeah, I don't need the rears, but since im gonna get the 25mm fronts, might as well get some 30mm rears too, and a body kit, it it'll look sik.

cc4usmc, what are your wheel/tire sizes and car?

Keep the fronts.
Get spacers to match in the back.
