Alignment with new wheels?

[RandallNeighbour]

Sammy, I guess they don't know you do A LOT of autocross, huh?

My vote is get a four wheel laser alignment if you put new rubber on those sweet new rims to fend of premature tire wear. What rubber are you running anyway?

You should not need an alignment with wheel replacement. and the camber should be that neg in the back.

when I did set ups on porsches the back had almost 1-1.4 deg neg camber and the front had .5-.75 deg neg camber..

the fact that they are wider than the originals might make the camber look worse, but it wont change it...

Unfortunately I've only been able to do 4 autocrosses this year; however, I have at least 3 left.

I had an alignment done 7k miles ago right after I put the Goodyear F1's on the car (I transfered the F1's to the new rims). There isn't any handling difference or any vibration so I'm guessing that the alignment is just fine. Since the wheels stick out a little more I think it is just an illiusion.

BTW - Thanks Randall... ever since I saw your car at the TOD I have been obsessed! Instead of keeping up with the Joneses, I'm keeping up with Randall.

BTW2 - Randall, have you done any autocrosses? NickCats and I have been having a blast this year despite the limited amount of events.

Sammy, I seem to have that effect on people. My wife is amazed I wasn't standing in line to get an iPhone to make all my friends jealous. I still don't have one!

I have yet to autocross. I just don't have the time and cash for it right now. Hopefully, 2008 will be the year I both autocross and do a high speed DE... we finally finished our outrageously priced renovation work and the checkbook will have recovered by then.
