If you run many autocrosses, than OK. Otherwise you will have excessive outer tire wear.

Any road ridge or grouve will make you front end twitchy. All from to much negative camber.

nice wheels and offsets. too little tire for an FD though.

I'm guessing its purely for looks because that setup does nothing for handling performance.

neg camber settles a front end down. wide tires and low profiles on the other hand

To me it looks like the wheels were too far out and this caused the suspension to buckle under the added stress, hence the huge, tire eating camber.

It's always nice to see something different. I will have a pretty aggressive offset and now I have a bit of an idea of what it may look like.

nice,
my 96 rx7 has 18" blitz racing wheels with 18x225x45's rear and 18x225x40's front. i dont know what the offset is but i dont think they stick out quite that much.
wouldent more offset make the tyre contact patches a little wider making the car a little more stable assuming the suspension was up to it?

+1. Send them back to jline and get the appropriate offsets, 225 on a 9.5 wheel is ridiculous.

He can't, because his wheels don't fit.
