I just installed these MB Weapons 17x9s +24, I put on Kumo 710s 275/40/17 tires on them. Now I have read that a +24 offset is safe but the front tire is sitting flush and maybe even a 1/4" out side. I think it looks great but I only have one concern. Do I run the risk of hitting a bump and jamming this tire up into my fender? I have stock camber and a stock suspension. I have seen many do this size and offset but they may of dialed in some negative camber. Do I need to do this? Or will the top of the wheel pull in as the tire pushed upward and avoid this contact?

 

The position of tire will change with steering and bumps. I do not know if it will hit the fender. Take a ride and experiment.

 

I think you will be ok. I run 18x9.5 +20 wheels with 275x35 tires.. and I am about 3/4" lower with Cobb springs.. no rubbin.

 

The wheel will not move directly up. You're fine.

 

pull up diagonally to a steep driveway, and put only the wheel in question onto the driveway while the other 3 are on flat ground. in that manner the wheel will be up into the well as far as possible and you can then see if it interferes with anything. play around with the steering at that point to. all that should give you a good indication of whether you will be interfering or not.

however, with the specs you gave i would bet $$$ that you are ok.

oh, and put some shoes on.

 

Excellent idea. Thanks for the advice guys! I'm gonna put my shoes on now.

 

Nice.
You are going to love the V710s. Autox? Track? Both? I only used them twice for track (and LOTS for autox), but they were great when I did.

 

To be on the safe side, I removed the uppermost bolt holding the fender liner. In the off chance your tire does hit it can push the bolt up and dent your fender.

 

There is a lot of camber gain, you are fine. I ran the same wheels but with a 10mm spacer up front and a 20mm spacer in the back.

 

Yep - your good...I have that exact same setup for AUTO-X..

MB WEAPONS FTW!!!

 

AutoX for now, I'd like to try a road course someday but that is a whole different animal.

 

+1... No need to worry... just understand as your suspension compresses, you gain negative camber, and vice versa.

 

Are you in Columbus Ohio? If so, Mid Ohio is only about an hour fifteen away. Thats about how long it takes me to get there if you ever decided to road course. I go there a lot with NASA.

 

I'd be interested in finding out more about this, cool if I PM you?

 

Feel free to PM. I am going there in a couple weeks for the season opener of the NASA Great Lakes region. This will be my first year in TT.
