Alignment specs
I will be installing some new wheels and tires soon, F: 18x8.5 +45 on 235/40/18, R: 18x9.5 +45 on 265/35/18. The car is lowered 1" all around. Due to this i will also be getting an alignment. I've been doing some reading for the last couple of days and saw that the pettit long track alignment specs seem to be what most people go by. Ive also read that for 18 in wheels there isnt enough rear camber. So based off what i've read, mostly rynberg and damonb i was thinking of using the follow:
Front
Toe: 1/16" in Camber: -1.1 Caster: +6.0
Rear
Toe: 0 Camber: -.4
Do these sound okay?

You might want to try 1/16" toe-in at the rear. If this is for street use only, I would run -1 deg front, -0.5 rear, and see how you like it. Adding more rear camber will make the car understeer a tad more and will reduce tire life.
