Interesting. Had not thought of that.
The hub is easy to sand down. Any ideas on how to get the PC off of the lug seat? Since it's down in the "hole", it will be difficult to get to.

I may get toe arms in the future but for now I don't think -3 is that bad. Here's a list of all my specs. Hope this helps!

  • Staggered 19" coupe wheels (19x8.5 F 19x9 R)
  • 245/40/19 tires all around
  • Ksport true type coilovers
  • SPC front & rear camber kits
  • 20mm front & 15mm rear spacers
  • Front camber: -1 degrees
  • Rear camber: -3 degrees
As far as the drop goes, I'm about 25.8" from the ground on my front fenders. I didn't measure the rear but I assume it's something similar.


Have any better pics? I should be picking up a set of these wheels tomorrow.

I didn't see anyone in this thread running all rears.

Any issues? I'm not dropped yet, but Sprint Springs are on the roadmap.
I'm running 4 rears off a convertible, 19x9 (+30 offset), sits perfectly flush with a drop on swifts on my x sedan. Coupe rears have a +43 offset.

This the exact setup that I'm going to be doing on my X sedan as well!

Using H&R as an example, they have DRM & DRS style.
DRM is just a bolt on with a second set of studs that you bolt your wheels to. Easy, but potentially problematic, as you now have two sets of nuts to torque down and keep an eye on. You'll need to pull the wheels off to check torque on spacer nuts, as well.
DRS requires you to swap out the studs for longer ones to match the new thickness including the spacer. In order to install, you'll need to pull the caliper off and to the side, pull off rotor, then pound out the stock studs and reinstall the new ones. I used this tool to reinstall and it worked really well: Kastar 938 Wheel Stud Installer Kit
The new studs go up in size every 10mm, so if you're using 15 or 20mm spacers, there is no need to swap, but if you go up to 25 you'll need longer ones.
Is it a pain? A little bit. But it's worth the piece of mind, IMO.
Where did you get your wheel studs? I have a couple sets of H&R wheel spacers I want to use, but only have one set of wheel studs that came with the spacers.

That looks good!

That is -3 camber out back? What is your reasoning for that? I see you're running SPC front and rear camber kits, but what about the SPC toe bolts? Looks like you'd have room to even up the camber even with the 15mm spacers.

I want to run these wheels, but tire wear is my priority. This thing is my daily. I don't want to have to keep buying 19" tires every year.

My alignment tech advised against drilling a larger hole for the SPC toe bolts because he said it'd compromise the subframe. I said I'd get toe arms sometime down the road (I have true type coils so I can use toe arms). Still haven't gotten them LOL. This is my daily too, but -3 ain't so bad.

My mechanic didn't even hesitate.

And my Alignment Tech was a 30-year Sr. Tech at my dealership. He thought it was fine.

Maybe. It's a subjective thing.

Personally, I feel that when wheels tilt deeper than -2.5*, it becomes very noticeable on the G Sedan. However if that's the look you want, then winning!

Yeah most do it, but I said I was going to get toe arms anyways (or so I thought lol). The camber is actually less noticeable than you think. I thought it was at -2 at most.

Do you notice any undue camber wear on your tires? Just wondering about tire life at -3*.
