VTISmichael Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 nearly bought them front cambers didnt look adjustable they are only by about 5mm but if need be i can them adjust more but i think thats all ill need for the front, the bolts are turning out to be a right nightmare to get out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 got the new bolts fitted, the right ones would not budge so ended up grinding/drilling them out, just need to do a quick once over with thread die on the ball joints at work sorry for the poor quality pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTISmichael Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 took a couple of pics after my car wash today, not great quailty tho but gonna actually fit mt wheels tomorrow..had a few moments this sat, went over a nice bump, lifted off the ground and scrubbed bad on landing, also i scrapped the cat/mid box pretty bad on a hump and this small hill mound, also smacked the control arm on the rear on this back drive going slow, sounded like the wheel came off lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippyross Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Can you not lathe a few mm off the back off the wheel to bring it into the arch a bit and you won't have to run as much camber and you won't need new tyres every 4 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 yeah i know, im not looking forward to going thru tyres but yes it would be possible to lathe the inner face but at my work we dont have a manual lathe/cnc lathe that has enough chuck space to do that, at some point ill sell them and get the higher offset wheels.
