Dual Duty - Performance Street & Track Fitment

These wheel and tire configurations are very effective for both performance-oriented street cars and weekend track warriors. The suspension type, alignment settings, and tire brand/size can be changed accordingly to work for either scenario. While this wheel fitment can be ran with the factory alignment, negative camber is encouraged for enthusiasts running track/race compounds that run wide to prevent rubbing under suspension compression, and to maximize performance and tire longevity.

About Aftermarket Camber Plates 

Adjustable camber plates do more than just aid in wide wheel and tire fitment. They provide increased grip and reduced tire wear by spreading the load evenly during cornering. Learn more in our blog article, The Positives of Negative Camber.
