Camber will be required for both, but the reduction in unsprung weight, cheaper tires, and the rotatable squared setup will prove very effective  |
That is my plan, the rear (or the whole car) is maybe 5mm lower than stock. When i mounted my winter wheels and tires (17x7.5 225/45 all round) there is loads of room in the back, even asked the mechanic at the DIY shop i go to, if he thinks that 17 245s ET40 will fit in the rear. After looking around and feeling about, most likely yes.
But i will go for 235s all round on 17x8.5 ET40 first, when the time comes for new track tires, 245s will be considered.
