Aggressive fitment anyone?!

[31R]

I'm with you on the classics Chris!

Here is a quick photo of my setup. Not really aggressive but good enough for daily driving.

Racing Hart type-c 3 piece wheel 5/4 x114.3
Front: 17x8 +37 (15mm spacers)
Rear: 17x7 +37

I dont have the spacers on the front any more, i'm waiting on some Ichiba Version 1 hubcentric spacers. In the pictures i have two 5/16 spacer plates which comes to about 15mm, but i took them off. I'll probably add a 5mm to the rear and add some negative camber. I do have the original center caps as well but they are not on in the pics.

Looks great Darrell! Are those dual lug too? Man if I get those Volks we will be like twins lol

at 1of1 and Formula drift show/meet in Las Vegas
do ya see me?
didnt really match up to any of the people i rolled up with but it was fun

oh and i added 20mm spacers to the fronts

Thanks fellas!

@Chris- Yup they are dual lugs, Twins FTW!

^What's your camber/caster set at?

^What's your camber/caster set at?

at the moment i guess you could say its natural camber...idk what caster is (dunno)
i dont have anything changed other than the springs
i got some camber bolts that im gonna install soon tho

 

[ucMP3]

What's natural camber? lol

Caster & camber work together. Caster is the same tilt as camber (as in top to bottom, out & in) but it's the angle @ the strut, vs camber being the angle @ the wheel. These 2 combined are what truly gives you measurement that affects wheel fitment tho. Caster is just often over-looked and/or thrown in the same boat as camber.

natural = stock is my guess

 

[ucMP3]

natural = stock is my guess

Camber (and other alignment specs) & suspension geometry changes with any alterations to ride height, wheel width & offset, etc... so I doubt he's at stock spec anymore.

Kauai - I was just curious, because my 17x8 +45/+42 seem to poke more than yours, but I am running very little camber currently.

 

[civickilla03]

it also naturally adjusts as you go lower, so as he is lower his suspension has shifted = natural camber

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

Any bolts that could adjust camber are kept loose, therefore the suspension moves naturally and freely.

(iagree)(attention)

idk if its really defined but i hear it all the time
natural camber is stock angles i guess
when your car is lowered its how much negative camber your wheels get without adjusting it yourself
which, in the protege5 case (bluep5), isnt much

really?
could i get a pic?

^Ya I'll get a couple quick pics tonight. Car is dirty as balls and I leave town tmrw butt-**** early in the am. But I'll snap somethin really quick when I get off work.

So what do you mean when you say "you're working on it"?

adding negative camber to see how much further out i can go in the rear (adding small spacers)...

im testing fitment to see what my next set of rims will be

I'll load some pics hopefully later, but just ignore what I said before. Right when I went outside and looked, I was like, "WTF was I thinking?" lol You def. poke more than me. Looks just as it should be to have ~10mm lower offset & more poke.

O, and I forgot to say before, nice stance. (thumb)
