Wheel fitment whore thread (Stretch/Flush) *NO SPECS, NO POST!*

[dori_sil8t]

ok will do...

[ayuaddict]

you said you have a 2.5" flare.

which comes out to be a tad bit wider than my overs.

soooo.

youre gonna need something around the lines of 10.5j -40, or 12j -22

with around -4.5 camber.

I'd reccomend a less aggressive offset with less camber. There is absolutely no point to -4.5 degrees. On a 10.5 I'd say something closer to a 0 offset or maybe a few mil positive with like 2.5 degrees camber. That's a much more useable set-up.

Or even less camber -1.4 or so

[hotrodv]

Fail!! ahahah

[FaLKoN240]

I've read that running more than 4* of negative camber is detrimental to any suspension set up.

Usually I'm not one to hate on dumb alignments but -4 is pretty dumb and excessive.

[ayuaddict]

re-read my post.

it sounds like i was saying he needs X size with -4.5 degrees.

what i meant was.

he needs X size if he runs -4.5 degrees camber,

which is pretty much stock RUCAs maxed outwards at a decent ride height. which just happens to be my situation as of now, as sad as it is, but hey its better than when i was running -7 degrees back when i had stock body quarter panels. haha.

17x9 +45 with 20mm...i hope ur plannin on stretchin some 195's because theres no way theyre clearing the fenders..

I'm calling bullshit. stock rucas maxed out will get no where NEAR -4.5 degrees camber.

[motegineon]

yea me too!

yuta ur such a kidder..

this is the wheel fitment whore thread, not the picture thread.
so Ironically, you did actually break the rules LOL

well right now i have stock RUCAs

my car is decently low.

last alignment i got, i maxed out the RUCAs to be as positive as we could get them and even them out and they came out to be -4.5*.

so you're saying that stock RUCAs wont allow enough adjustment to bring camber back to -4.5? but how could you say that without knowing how low my car is? i could bring the camber back to 0 if i raised my car enough.

Jon did you go rally racing??? xD

i have added 2.5 of flare. my friend was running 17 by 7 +40 with a 245 45 17 and they was tons of room. ill just have to get everything together
thanks for the help.

[SoSideways]

17x7 +40 w/ a 245/45/17 tire?

Battle of the Bulge?

That's a stupid size, he probably had so much tire rollover his lips were scraping the ground.

Stock Mustang wheel size is 17x8 +30 with a 245 and the tire STILL looks huge.

If stock ruca's could be adjusted to -4.5 deg why do companies make aftermarket adjustable ruca's? Because stock ruca's CAN'T be adjusted that much. Do your homework so you won't post bullshit info.

[motegineon]

yea basically with the car sitting on the ground its definately possible..they make aftermarket to hit negative floor while being able to not have to slam the car super low..

Exactly. A car sitting on the ground is undriveable for the most part Well, I guess some people here will actually attempt to roll that way

actually 4.5deg is possible on stock RUCAS so i agree with you

it all depends on how low your car is and what your current suspension geometry is

i had over 6 degrees of camber on stock RUCAS when I first lowered my car

i have an alignment sheet if you guys doubt me

what if the alignment wasn't zeroed to begin with before the alignment?

i had 6 degrees before my alignment, then got it down to 3 degrees. after i got my RUCAS i was able to zero them out as i pleased.

[ant_s13]

yeah i see adjustable arms as a means of winding out camber more than anything, that's what i used mine for.

[motegineon]

ok homework has been done so everyone quit whining and post more pictures!

just for picage here was mine while installing tie rods the other day

thank you. (i also have an alignment sheet)

i actually had -6.8 degrees of camber on stock RUCAs at one point.

i was always under the impression that after market RUCAs were to correct camber over a wider range where stock RUCAs cannot. at my current ride height my camber is pretty much maxed outwards on stock RUCAs, if i wanted 0 camber i would need aftermarket RUCAs, shit if i wanted -3* i would need aftermarket RUCAs.

this has nothing to do with homework, everything i say comes from personal experience.

EXACTLY.

I was running 6 degrees of camber in the rear with stock RUCAS, but that doesn't mean I could zero it out. Thats why I got aftermarket RUCAS.

[FaLKoN240]

OK enough arguing, you dumbasses are gonna get this thread locked.

jookybanana are you coming to Golden Gardens? I wanna see your car, I'm like obsessed with it, so cleaaaaaan!
