Looking good. Too wide for my taste though....

17x8 +45 with a 235/45 tire

235! you only need a small amount of camber to make that work.

Got my front spacers on yesterday. Sitting at 17x8 +27 now. Pretty much perfect with -2 degrees of camber. Need to get pics.

oh snap, you actually use that home alignment tool? is it any good?
I was looking at buying it becuse my toe is WAY off, and my car pulls to the left pretty hard. obviously I cant get on an alignment rack so thats out of the question lol

 

[shane02pro5]

I just use a string from the front to back wheels for toe

Looks mean OG!

yea, its ok. I mean its not perfect, but gets me close to where I want to be. Fastrax claims they are pretty accurate. the way I see it, if I see -2.5* camber, while it may not be truely -2.5, if I camber both sides according to this gauge, then at least it even on both sides. lol

toe is easy to adjust on these cars imo. like shane said, a string works. I use a wood board on each sides of the front tires. I will measure underneth the car just infront of and inback of the front tire. then using a sharpie, I will mark it using the board as guide. Then adjust from there.
Example: I had 68xx inches in front of the tire. then I had 67xx in back of the front tire. (toe out) So, I adjusted the tie rods...loosen one half turn (180*) on each side. Then remeasured and now I have 68 in even.
Car drives nice and straight and no pulling at all.

oh and thank you shane!

Longacre toe plates make it even easier.

If you can Id run a hair of toe out. Makes steering quicker and more precise. About 1/4 of an inch should be enough and you won't notice the tire ware to much.

HMMMMmMMMmmMM
some good info here..I was going to buy the fastrax and then buy the optional toe adapters...
but if i can really just use a board or something, that works for me
Ill have to go measure

 

[justanothermp5]

thanks for the info guys, fixed the pulling issue.

I had a question though, how do you know which wheel is out? when you measure one could be at 0 and the other be way off, but theres no way of telling.
Any idea?

center the wheel, and check the front wheel to the back wheel with a string. if the gaps are different at the front or back of either wheel, you can get an idea of what is pointed where.
