Question about Camber+tires for professionals

Wierdochild89 · 03-22-2008, 02:25 PM

I am planning on getting 255 tires on my car and to make them fit, i will do camber+ possible fender roll. The question is, with a camber kit for the 255 tire, how much will the tire be touching the ground VS if i get 235 tire with out camber?

Also how much contact path do i lose if i get 255 tire with camber? and will my stopping distance worsen with the 255 tire + camber?

I do not care about gas mileage as i bought an Si for a reason and i am really not into straight line speed.

Thanks
Eric

Any particular reason your going to run a 255?

Wierdochild89 · 03-22-2008, 02:31 PM

Main reason, i love the looks of it.

Its always a compromise of how much camber you can run Bracking force vs Straight line traction vs Turning.

Best way to determine Camber settings is through tire temp testing...
