Already told you that you need camber... go get an alignment and tell them you want around -3.3* in the rear.

Deal with the tire wear or get new wheels.

I know, just trying to get as much information before doing anything. I do appreciate your input though.

I just hear from people that doing - camber will do nothing except cause a lot of tire wear.

If aligned right there is no excess tire wear. Only thing is that the tire will wear on one side except of both. Just make sure the toe and all is all good.

I had the same issue as you when I was running -2.9* of camber, until this weekend when I had the car re-aligned to -3.4* and everything is perfect now. With -2.9* I have no noticeable wear on my tires with 7k miles on them.

i can deal with the wear, just making sure cambering in will solve the problem of my tire hitting the fender and taking paint off/warping it.

that's pretty impressive. have any pictures of your rears? I think I'll go this route then instead of pulling my poor fenders. Also, I am going to raise the car up for an alignment so they can evenly camber the fronts. They're off by 0.5 degrees...

If you lower it after you've adjusted the alignment your camber/toe will be effected. Take the car in to be aligned the way you want to drive it.

NTB has a 1 year alignment program for around $130 OTD. You can align your car as many times as you want. The only issue you may have is getting your car on their rack. I lower/raise my car depending on the seasons so rather than pay approx $70 per alignment I paid $130 for unlimited ride height tinkering for the next 363 days.

Jack Williams has a six month warranty so I still can go back to them now. There you can just drive through and adjust the car underneath in a basement/trench area, no scrapping worries.

They did say since the car way so low they did not have any room to adjust the front camber. It is off by -0.5 degrees, but everything else( FRONT/REAR ) is good. They told me I should raise it up to get it adjusted, and just slam it after the alignment .

[project92raddoslc]

They should be able to even out the camber pretty easily. I'm not sure what max is but my front is -1.3*/-1.4*.

Yeah they can't access to adjust the front camber since it's too low to get in there???
like I mentioned, I'll just have to take my chances and raise it for the alignment, since my fronts are 0.5 deg off. pretty big and can cause a lot of shaking which I have.

[juldupp]

is it possible to tuck rears 17/9's et12's on my mk6, aint afraid of cambuur but i wanna know if its realist

[llllllll vr6 lllllll]

Et 12? That would stick out like 5 inches past the fender, with max camber and on air

LOL no.

[gravis86]

I am hoping maybe you guys can help me.

I'm looking at getting some new wheels, thinking VMR 701s probably. The thing is, I want more grip. I'm going g to be getting Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires so they're nice and sticky, but I want a wider tire too. I'm thinking 8.5" front and rear.

My #1 goal though is not to rub. Not on bumps, through corners, or bumps through corners. Or when fully loaded, but fully loaded through a corner and hitting a bump is acceptable I guess, since that will probably never happen.

Anyway, what king of offset and tire size will I be looking at to make this work? I'm not a fan of stretch, but just a little is probably okay if necessary.

Also, I'm on stock suspension but plan on going with H&R Sport Springs or coil overs eventually. No ultra-lows...

Sorry for my noobishness, but I come from bikes where there is no offset or fenders to worry about.

Thanks in advance!

If you're on stock or going springs you'd be fine with any offset. I suggest going 40-45 on an 8.5 with a 225 or 235 series tire.

whatever ima test fit it with 4 degree or more cambuur, will update soon

[PelleW]

18x9 ET 40 front and rear. I´m thinking 225/35 or 215/40 perhaps?

Any problems with this setup? Will I clear the struts? Rubbing?

Depending on how low you are. If you're low, 205's, if you're not 215's.

let me know if I'm on the right track or totally off the radar on this one. I am getting 18x8 wheels in front, 18x9 in the rear. I am looking for a similar stretch all around. I'm thinking 215/35 for the front, 225/35 in the rear. yes? no?

im no expert, but i dont think you wont really have much of a stretch at all, especially on the 18x8 with a 215.

I ran a 205/45 on a 17x8 and i don't even think you could classify that as a stretch lol. maybe with the smaller sidewalls it's a different story, but really depends how low you wanna go, i think.

I think I'm gunna go 215/35 all around. I checked out tyrestretch.com. They looked like they had a decent stretch.

Im running a 18x9 on mine with a 215 and its stretched but VERY minimally. On an 18x8 it wouldnt be stretched.
