(Thread Starter) |   Neutral : +1 score  Enkei Imola Bright Silver After 6 years of owning the speed, I finally put a wheel and tire package on it. I did not spend a bunch of money. I do not track the car, I just wanted something that looked a better and could get a bigger sidewall and wider contact patch with out modifying the fenders or running some crazy negative camber (I do not like that look). After much thought, I ended up with 17x7.5 with a 50 mm off set Enkei Imola in bright silver. Tires are Fuzion UHP 235/45, a good side wall with a bit more contact patch. I know those are a cheaper tire, but other house hold financial responsibilities took precedent over this right now. I am running K-Sport control coil overs lowered about an 1" up front and about 3/4" out back. I modified the camber plates up front to better dial everything in. The K-sport plates only have holes drilled every so often, that is not ideal when trying to fine tune the camber, so I milled a slot in them. I have the SPC cambers on the back. I also spent some time at a good shop to get the alignment dialed in. The shop was great, they let me work with them on how I wanted to set it up. We spent about 3 hours on it. Front toe in is 1/32" Rear toe is 1/16" Front camber is -1.2° and the rear is -2.0° I know this is not the most aggressive parameters, but I wanted better tire life at the sacrifice of quicker response, but again, this car live it's life on the street only. I gotta give a big thanks to @Nliiitend1; for giving me some direction on the settings!!

| Not Ranked : 0 score Looks Excellent Scott. Nice, clean, but aggressive @ the same time. We are both lucky to have been able to consult Nliiitend1. He helped me with my decisions as to handling as well. Good luck with the wheels. The car looks great. SilverDemon likes this. |
