Question, if you run more neg camber, isn't that detrimental to the handling of the car in EVERYDAY driving? i mean, the inside of the tires will wear terribly. Why would you recommend this?

^^Because its the only way to make aggressive offsets fit. Toe will destoy your tires more than camber and actually having some neg camber will make you car handle better in turns, ever seen a race car...mad camber. Straight line you will get some channelling but nothing too bad.

Yes, i understand that, but i've seen people driving around with more than 4* negative camber, which is crazy on a street car (even 3* is pushing it IMO). If the car is for HPDE or track events only, by all means. But 95% of driving street cars do is in a straight line where you will wear out your tires and get pulled all over the road. I just want to make sure that the original poster understand that you can make it fit, but there are consequences to making it fit, and depending on the person, they may not like them.

I have another car with a little over 2* negative camber, and it is 60% street 40% track and my insides wear out MUCH faster than my outsides.

Yeah i'm not a fan of changing my suspension setup to accommodate these wheels. I was mainly asking about running a smaller tire. But it looks like I'm just going to end up with the MRR GT-5's which DO fit.

It was already stated.


1) Slam it
2) Run stretched tires
3) Dial in more negative camber
4) Trim fender bracket and lining

According to this offset calculator:

Wheel Offset Calculator

Your front rim is sticking out an extra 34mm from stock (19x8.5 43mm offset)
Your rear rim is sticking out an extra 43mm from stock (19x9 45mm offset)

That's way too aggressive.

Thanks guys. I'm in denial seriously. It's just been hard trying to find wheels for cheap that I like.
