    I try to run more camber in the front then the rear just to balance it out. I've had -2.8 to -3.2 in the front and they fit fine. The rear i had it at -2.6 and it rubbed a tiny little bit on the top of the sidewall, but it was hardly noticible (nothing to worry about). I also run 245's all the way around and my current camber setings are -3.2 F and -2.8 R.

    Did you get that much front negative camber just from your coilovers adjustable upper plates or did you also have to add camber bolts to increase it?

    I had to use bolts to get 3* I maxed them out then adjust the camber plates to get the desired camber

    Enkei RPF1 Crew holla!



    Wheel Specs:
    Bright Silver, 17X7, 5X114.3, +45 MM offset

    Lug Nuts:
    Blox Street Series forged/extended open end (black color)

    Tire Size:
    215/45/17

    Fenders:
    Rears have been rolled by Mach III, fronts are stock and pose no threat since there is more than enough clearance.

    *I decided to run a safe offset, in my opinion it looks cleaner than most of the cars i see running "HellaFlush"/poke/mexipoke/etc. Now if i have a RWD car then staggered/aggressive set-up for sure. The rear fenders have been rolled since my car is dropped enough that the tires can hit the rear fender during bumps/dips.

    *Also from a visual stand point, RPF1s run on the small side due to a prominent lip. Ie. 18s look like 17s, 17s look like 16s and so fourth. I opted for the 17s since im a fan of 17s on EP3s and people always comment on how they look like 16s...which is fine cause 16s and 17s are what i like on the EP3. 15s are to dinky and 18s are to donky.

    P.S. The car has hubcentric rings to minimize vibration at high speeds ie when im traveling at 150+ MPH.

    would you say your car is low? i only want to run -1 to -1.5 in the rear... i have no problem riding high in order to not rub
