Default wheel installed and ailgnment done but.....

whenever i'm on on-ramps or faster turns and i throttle, the slip light turns on. i did an alignment right after the wheels are on and everything seems like they are in spec except for the negative camber in the front. could it be the tires or the alignment specs??? TIA

wheel specs
19x9.5 +12 Hankook evo v12 245/35
19x10.5 +12 Hankook evo v12 275/30

alignment specs

(L)front (R)front
camber: -2.0 -2.4
Caster: 8.8 8.9
Toe: .04 .05


(L)rear (R)rear
Camber: -1.8 -1.9

Wrong size tires, you should have installed 275/35-19

^+1

F Overall Diameter: 25.75 in 654.05 mm

R Overall Diameter: 25.49 in 647.44 mm


Your rear tire diameter is smaller than the front. It should be the other way around




Nice car BTW.

Ditch those tires for 275/35 and you should be okay.

Search for the 3% rule to better understand why this is happening with those tire sizes you have, homie.

Maybe the slip light is ON because the tires are slipping.

Or you could put the 275/30 on the front and get 295/30 for the rear.

That won't trigger the light. His is doing it because the front tires are taller than the rear tires. He could put those rears on the front or get new rears completely.

Could be your wheels. They're need Volk stickers for more stabilities.

Uh-oh, here come the replica bashers. Car looks great Jackie!

Like others have said, the 30 series rear is the culprit. Sell them and get the 35 series.
