This should be a quickie for the experts ... do you think I can get away with running Falken Azenis RT-615, 215/45 17 on my MCS with 1.5" drop and -2.5 camber on all four corners?

I'd really like to roll the 45's over the 40's for obvious reasons: soften the ride a bit; protect the rim from craters; keep the load rating as high as possible per corner.

Will they rub? I had Toyo T1S in the same size, pre-coilover install and had no issues. I'm hoping the aggressive camber will allow greater clearence.

TIA!

 

Depends on your wheel width as well..
I have 215/40 17 on 17x7.5 with 1inch drop and there is some space and I was going to try 215/45 next time..
If they rub, shouldn't be too bad..

 

The tires will be mounted on 17x7 R90's. Heavy as sin, but damn sexy on the street.

 

OK .. just ordered them .. I'll post impressions and results after a few miles.

 

Those tires won't be around long with that much camber.

What is the benefit of equal camber on all four corners? Seems like most people run 1-1.5 degrees less in the rear

 

please post pictures when you get them on

 

Heh, no kidding!

My suspension tuner, Tony Colicchio (http://www.tcdesignfab.com/), is considered by many to be Yoda for race cars. When asked about my driving style, I answered, "a daily driver with frequent spirited mountain drives and around 4-6 DE's a year." Based on that criteria, he set the car up as described above. As for the exact science and physics why running such aggressive camber is better, I cannot comment.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the car connects with the fresh rubber!

 

Of course!!!

 

where did you order from? I'm looking at 215/45/16 RT615's
