17" Concave Arc-8 content in here, post yours!

Man, just swap those strut hats and call it a day! That's such a good free mod for the E36, I don't know why you wouldn't do it.

You really should do this. -2.5 in the front with 0 toe is fine for tire wear. I've driven mine daily for years like that with no uneven wear at all.

this is with a 10mm spacer, correct? What size tire and what brand/model?

I had 245/40/17 Michelin Pilot super sports mounted on all four 17x9.5's today.

[Apex000]

those look like Michelin super sports

[Donny Voodoo]

lmao.

[greyflyer]

These look fantastic, proper tire sizing and fit for performance. So much better than those ridiculous "stanced" cars where the tires roll off the rim with one good corner.

[graphite9]

9/9.5 is the best fitment. No rubbing, no spacers/camber. Just a roll.

[Axxe]

Can't believe I missed out on this GB. These wheels are exactly what I've been looking for. 17x9.5 all around on 255's? Hell yes.

[sivart173]

Moar!

Here's a shot of the front clearance with 255/40/17 on 17x9.5 with a 12mm spacer. I have about -2.5 camber up front. Slight rub in the front under hard cornering. I think a roll in the front fenders will fix it.

If I somehow find some extra time, I ll take some more shots.

[3MPowered]

Any more of this?

[AlpineWolfie]

I put them on today. Still need to lower it down a bit.

Excuse the dirty ride. She is in the shop right now because...S54

Well done sir.

Made some changes:

-TCK 7" 500lb front springs on the PSS9 and 500lb in the the rear as well (huge difference from pss9 springs)
-Reversed upper strut mounts

The height adjusters are threaded all the way to the top on the front struts with no helper springs. I don't think I can / want to go any lower without rubbing the height adjuster or destroying my fenders.

The rear is as low as it can go with the height adjusters in.

I still want to fit a 10mm spacer in the rear so its the same as the front but it's going to be really tough.

This is what I've been waiting for, periodically checking in this thread. Looks absolutely perfect! Hats off to you.

[graphite9]

Why do people run the 9.5's up front? Its a nightmare fitment. Especially since you can fit a 255 on a 9"? My 9" fronts were a cake walk.

[overcast]

Obvious answer is obvious.

sh1ftgear, were your front wheels "a nightmare fitment"?

[doogee]

Those seats for razin'?

12mm spacers, -2.5 camber, and it still rubs? That's your idea of good fitment? I can fit 245s on the front, no spacers, mild roll, stock camber. That's easy fitment. Plus I could probably fit 255s.

9" front
9.5" rear
Easy fit.

Why do you keep complaining about why other people went with a 9.5"? If you are happy with your "perfect fitment" with a car higher than the empire state building then so be it.



And if you knew anything about these cars, you would know that the suspension setup is optimal at -2.5 degrees of camber up front.

Anyways, kliris. Carry on.

[canisM3]

^^ +1 your car is pretty high up there, and -2.5 is not bad at all, I rubbed with -2.1 on my 245 on 9" wheels, find it hard your running stock camber.. but then again your, well.. high. -2.8 and the car handles much much better and no rubbing at all.

[yoshioka90]

lower it

[graphite9]

lower it

I plan to. High as the empire state building? I like to find a happy medium between looks and performance. Not just looks. I don't want to be that guy going sideways over speedbumps and scraping entering the driveway. Im already lowered but plan on doing tcklines down the road. Msilvia I asked why people went with a 9.5 over a 9". What's the point? If there's a benefit to it, I just want to know what it is, that's all.
