Dinan camber plate and 245's

BigZ88 · 07-18-2023, 05:58 PM

Will the Dinan fixed camber plates give me enough negative camber to stop the 245/40’s from rubbing? 18x8.5 et40 wheels, stock m sport suspension …

I'd guess no. Maybe OK for normal driving, just no bumps.

That’s where I am already! Juuust barely rubs… but enough that I’m not comfortable driving on the roads around here very much…

They should be enough to keep you from rubbing. My suspension set up a few years ago was dinan camber plates with 17x8.5 et40 wheels and 245/40-17 tires. No rubbing up front.

Thank you! I will probably give them a shot! The Turner plates seem to give more but are back ordered!

Might need to switch to a 245/35. That extra height from the 40 might make you rub on the front bumper clip. 35 is the correct ratio for the rear anyway, so then you will be squared up with the rear.

It’s currently square in 40, but you’re correct I think it is the bumper clip I’m rubbing on currently. (Wheels and tires were purchased by the PO, and I’m just tryin to get things straightened out!)
