    Definitely don't use the inverted tie rod ends. They over correct tie rod angle and increase bump steer. They are a gimmick product. You would have to be laying frame in order for them to effectively point the tie rod angle back to instant center.

    Anyway, here is the BEEF!

    17X9 +35 front with a 245/40/17 Z1, 17x7.5 +43 rear with a 225/45/17 Z1

    Alignment angles are

    Front -3.5 camber, .05 toe out, 6.4 deg caster
    Rear -2.0 camber, 0 toe

    Looking good as always.

    What camber kit are you running up front?

    I need to get one. I'm currently pushing the limits right now.

    Post up soon.

    so, Decided to mount my old wheels/tires on my girls UA5 type S

    I'm liking the rear but could use a little camber up front.

    Still on HFP Suspension and Stock Alignment

    17x8.25 +25 on 215/50 Toyo

    Tires came off the TL Type S; hey it's free and I'm actually digging the look and the fact that I'm not rubbing my fenders front or rear under normal driving. It's simulated BEEF! (kinda like Breast Implants)

    But anyways here is a little BEEF to feast on:











    A little UA5 love:



    Now, If i could only J swap the EP...



    *Still a work in progress....

    I vote Easy-E as the KING OF BEEF! I love how your car is so clean and functional. You rock the antithesis of that bullshit hellaflush nonsense.

    They were ok for what they were, didnt offer much adjustment range honestly. The one benefit of those is increased shock travel for those running stock or Koni/GC, but other than that if you have a full coilover there are much better options.

    I would do the 45's from both an appearance and performance standpoint. Smaller diameter will shorten up your gearing ever so slightly.

    Any reason to not get 17s? Then you can run 225/45 or even 235/40 all around and not need much modifying if any.

    But if you stick to 16s then a 50 profile will be closer to stock specs

    i figure 17s would be to big for the car. i am sick of swapping wheels after events and want all around great performance. i have been running a 15x7 wheel with hoosiers looking to go to a 16 with a good track and auto x tire that can still be run on the road.
