Alignement for New wheels/tires
Hey guys,
Going to get the alignement done on my new Enkei 17*9's with RT-615's in 255-40-17 all round done. I will be driving the car on the "street" 90% of the time.
I was wondering if these settings posted on Steve's old site are still the best for me. I remember seeing a little chart around here somewhere but I can't seem to find it now.
Thanks

The street 16" specs would work pretty well with your 17s. You could go to the Long Track specs for 16" if you want to be more aggressive, but that is not really needed for street driving.
