Alignment of FD low offset wheels (+32)
So my 16x8 wheels are on my FD with no rubbing. They have 245/45/16 tires. On my last alignment I used alignment specs from Pettit for 16" stock rims (+50 offset). Has anyone found favorable alignment settings for low offset (+32) stock sized rims for occasional road and auto-x use? Any suggestions on how to modify the settings for these new tires? I noticed after driving last night that the tires are making more contact on their inside edge, so I'm sure they have a lot of negative camber right now.

Wheel offset does not affect alignment or camber. If your tires are new they are making more contact on their inside edge because you have not worn the tread any.
FYI Pettit has different alignment specs for different wheel diameters because of tire sidewall height. As the sidewall gets shorter there is not a need for as much negative camber.
