Default Help needed!!!

Hi Guys

I have just bought a set of D2 coillies for the wifeys GDB sti....
and was wondering if anyone on here has messed around with camber settings and can recommend or give advice to try and save some life on the tyres but maintaining the cambered look. She is currently running on some 18 x 9.5" rims with some stretched 225/40's.

Thanks Heaps in advance for your help and advice

Aaron

Fark those are stretched, get them professionally set up and aligned and you'll save heaps of trouble. Get some shorter control arms to reduce the camber a little, that will save the tyres. Or call wheels world pronto.
