Oh yeah and, how would 17X8 35et and 17x9 25et look on a stock bodied s13?

I would probably end up running spacers sooner or later.

You know thats backwards right? You should have more camber in the front of the car. I would suggest running -2.5 in the front and -2 in the rear.

Thats going to be a bit sunk in especially with skinny tires. You'll need something like a 25 mill spacer up front and a 15 mill spacer in the back.

These cars have a lot of camber gain in the rear and almost none up front. You need a lot of static camber in the front and very little in the rear. That's for grip, though. Drift setups go against all normal setups.

even for a drift setup its pretty close, change the toe and caster a little, but you still want minimal rear camber for linear grip and more smoke, more positive caster helps initiate faster.

either way, his setup is wrong.

Drove through an auto carwash...

Wondered if it's god hating me or ill fortune that prevents me from having a car that doesn't leak.

Gonna pull the door panel off and try to adjust the window, either that or I'll have to tighten up the door latch assembly.
