get some camber bolts if the front rubsComment

I got jdm brembo set up coming soon.
so wheels will stick out more.
And the JDM set up has slightly more camber compared to our sussy.

do you know whether the jdm set up has more caster too?
if so.. do you know by how much?Comment

I'm running 17x8.5 +37 on the front and my fronts rub when full locking and turning. Mind you I think my suspension inherently gives me a little bit of negative camber but most of the rubbing would be due to the larger sized rim.
Why not run a +30 with a bit more camber? Btw, GTR offset rims start at around +22 :POfficial ClubITR Sponsor: www.autosphere.com.au - For all your maintenance, oils and track needs.Comment

Good discussion
. Mugsee failed to mention that he is using a 235/45 R17 tyre at the front.
It is interesting that you had no rubbing when using what is essentially a 17x9 +44 rim wuism. I get rubbing on the chassis at full lock on stock 16x6.5 +45 wheels and stock size tyres.
Wuism I think that if you try to run a good amount of camber you will get rubbing on the inner chassis with a 17x9 +40 rim but I am keen to see how it fits
.
Also I disagree with Chi more rim width and tyre is nearly always better

Charger failed to mention that he's running moogen N1 suspension with -4.5 degrees camber and that he tried to kill me yesterday on the track.
I think with a good amount of camber you'll get rubbing on the inner chassis, which is why choosing a lower offset is important in helping prevent this. Btw, any reason why your running -1.5 degrees camber?

AHHAAH.. yeh... prob y i dont have any girls... not enough -ve camber..Originally posted by mugsee View Post
it's at -1.5 coz thats the max i can get with camber bolts. didn't get fightex pillow top mounts. a bit pricey.
dayam.. -4.5 deg camber.. ahaha.. no wonder ur offset rubs.... arghh. i dunno exactly wat offset.. really need to try try... everyone in US seems to be using 17x9 +35... but i think that sticks out WAYYY 2 much.Last edited by wuism; 29-04-08, 12:03 AM.Comment

If your in the market for adjustable pillow top mounts, take a look at the kmac ones or ksport - I believe these mounts allow for castor adjustment as well. There was also another brand that Jeff from Techsports down here in Melbourne recommended but I can't remember what it was called. From memory, their all around ~$450 new. Ideally, what're you aiming in terms of camber settings?
As for test fitting rims, find a friend with a GTR and try on their rims. That should give you a good idea of what a good aggressive offset will be like.

Did you get the pre modified RBC with karcepts adapter and hondata IM gasket?
