Square Setup - Opinions Wanted

PharmDZ · 10-22-2015, 08:43 AM

I asked the same question about a square setup recently without much response. Looking to run 4 rear rays and 305/30r19 tires for autocross and track days. I'm also running plenty more negative camber than stock though. Guess I'll be giving it a shot early next year.

I thought about this but with the different F/R offset of the Rays I thought the rear wheels would stick out too far in the front.

I don't think so because if u see on the forums there is people running the regular staggered set up with 20mm spacers
And the difference between the front and rears is 17mm

So correct me if my analysis is wrong here. The wheels would extend out 17mm more due to offset and 12.5mm more due to the increased rim width so overall the front wheels would stick out 29.5mm more in the front using 4 rear Rays wheels. I would think you would need to run a rear spacer to keep it from looking strange. Would the fronts extend out past the edge of the wheel well?

I haven't check yet I'm still working in changing the color of the wheels, but the plan is to run a 20mm spacer in the back and I would post pics for anybody who is interested on this set up whit pics once I'm finished

That would be a close one I think. I bet that'd all depend on your camber. I am running -2.5 front camber and I believe I have something like 1.5" between the edge of the rim and my fender - that makes for about 38-40mm of space. In that case the rim should fit with 10-12mm clearance. Not sure how it'd do under load/turns.

To be honest, I could care less about the looks of the wheels as long as they don't rub under load and improve handling. But pics of any square set up are welcome and very much appreciated
