Default Help... Need to put more tire to the ground!

After getting TT, traction has become a serious issue. Common sense, I know but I need to find a way to get more tire to the ground.

Here are the items I have bought but have yet installed onto the car:

350evo Adustable A-arms
SPC rear camber/toe adjustment

What should the front/rear camber/toe be set to for mild oversteer with good launch traction?


Also, I have 8.5inch fronts and 9.5 inch rear 19 rims. Has anyone used 255 35 19 and 285 35 19 with that setup? Did you have any rubbing issues?

Thanks in advance.

I have my 18x10.5 and 18x9.5 wheels on order and will be putting 295/35-18 on the rear and 265/35-18 on the front. Running BFG KDW-2's it should suffice.

Throttle control?

Less Air Pressure?

The only ways you can improve now are.

1. Get your camber fixed
2. adjust your suspension to harder up front and softer in the rear so it squats
3. Go wider on your tires. Im running on a 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with 245/35 and 285/35. Im gonna step up to 265/30 and 305/30 next. Hopefully not too much rub and hopefully only rolling the fenders.

Other than that like someone mentioned throttle control. Maybe run your sways in the middle adjustment if you have them.
