The front of our cars have a very steep camber curve thus dont' need more than -3 degrees of camber up front. I've measured temps and found to be optimized at slightly less than 3 degrees.

Look at Rickdoggs car with the Cusco front a-arms and around -2.5 deg. camber! He is running the 17x9 et15 wheels and it is perfect! I don't think it will look bad on a decently lowered non-adjustable car either.

I run an 18x9 et+5 with a 245/40/18 tire and it works great, but is aggressive

Correction -3 soon to be more if it makes sense!

One reason why I'm looking at relatively inexpensive wheels is because I'm trying to prepare for the financial impact of those 350evo control arms. I have yet to find out what range of camber those cusco arms provide especially since my car is only lowered 3/4", and will probably remain that way.

I am currently running -3 front and -2.5 rear and can probably go up to -3.5 rear if not more

That's good to know. As much as I love the 350evo control arms, I'm having a hard time taking that $900+ hit. The cusco unit has been the only other one I'm considering, but not having seen one in person, and seeing if it's easy to adjust, I'm compelled to go with the 350evo. I've seen you change camber on the fly, and would consider buying the cusco is it can be done as easily as the 350evo set.

Rumor is that Unitech will be making their next batch of adjustable front upper A-Arms to allow MORE negative camber. More for the trackers than the slammers.

Remember: Pyrometer's are your friend!

we test fitted a 17 from 5Zigen and it cleared the 14.1" stop tech kit...

I can do a group buy on a set or 4 w/ or w/out tires...

If there is interest... PM me...

Tires available will be: Can be Staggard or Same all around...

KUMHO V710
YOKOHAMA AVS Sport
PIRELLI PZero System Asimmetrico

Wheels can be staggard or same all around... I am going with same wheel all around with staggard tire size...

And a few other set ups... Not as many street compounds available, but these would mostly be for track use...

tracking the car that will work, turn off VDC / disable VDC it will work...

The wheel / tire package I am talking about is going to be 265/285 race rubber

I might have missed it somewhere in the thread. I did read all of it...

But will the 17 clear the OEM Brembo ?

If yes, how fast can they be home ?

1. the rims only AND
2. the rims + 255/40/17 and 275/40/17 Yokohama AVS sport.

Rims would be matte black 1790 +15 and 1710 +25.

Also, any word on whether you guys are going to stock track-worthy upper control arms anymore?

Damn you guys are making me wish I had decided to go aftermarket 17" instead of OEM 18" for my track wheel / race rubber setup.
