the first and second are, but not all the cars off of the ground, which led me to believe you didnt understand the topic.

Well alignment is always a compromise. More negative camber is good for handling, steady state turns (G forces) but excess can make the car slow or twitchy to react on switch backs (slaloms). For grip off the line, RWD cars won't notice much loss in straight line traction, due to the weight transfer. For ride quality, it can make some difference, but its hard to quantify with numbers. It can make for less wet traction for sure, likely the biggest reason you don't see this from the factory.

so you're telling me this would perform better than say, 15x8's with sticky, thicker, wider tires?

not trying to pick a fight, just seeing if some of you guys understand my side of the argument.

Depending on what you use the car for, stretched tires can help you perform better.

If you are drifting, stretching the tires will help lose traction alot easier/quicker.

Most people who take pictures of their cars with retarded camber are only doing it for pictures. They don't usually drive around like that. You guys really need to open your minds a little, and think that other people like the way it looks.

wouldn't a 205 on a 2.5" smaller wheel lose traction EVEN QUICKER?

unless i'm wrong, but 2.5" less metal, wouldn't you put the power down easier and more efficiently, losing, and gaining back traction quicker?

maybe its just me, what do i know, i drive a Honda
