Agreed, you need more camber in the rear.

If you're using RE71rs's then I assume you want to be competitive. You should be north of 4 degrees up front and 2.5 in the rear.

Thanks all, I'll try a bit more camber first.

Eh, I'm kinda weird about that and probably don't belong in the motorsports section. The 295s are just me trying to make the Evo stay relevant relative to modern high performance cars on the street.

I only go to occasional autocrosses and don't care about what class I'm in. I've had the fastest time of the day at a few events, but that's only because the car is so overbuilt and the attendees were mostly casual. I think of this as a weekend canyon car, with maybe two track days a year.

I'm hoping -3 front -2 rear is enough and that the rear OEM eccentric bolts can do it. I'm on 8k front 10k rear Ohlins, so it's not a dedicated track car.

That'll be better than what you have. Size is great, but I would probably swap to something like the PS4S over RE71rs if its not about max performance. The reduction in grip adds life and reduces NVH. I run something like the PS4S or DWS06 for street tires but we have a lot more weather variety 1000mi north of you

Well damn, it's close, but not done yet. This is either -2.2 or -2.7 camber in the rear, maxed out. It's just that bumper tab area that's the problem. Maybe it needs to be cut and folded flat back there. I'll speak with a surgeon.

Also, maybe I should try lowering it instead of raising it? I added 7.5mm to my corner balance height before the previous set of photos. (In these pictures it's pushed up on a driveway.)

Is there any room on the inside if you had higher offset wheels? Or do you think you're at the limit of how far inboard the wheel could go?

There is suspension flex to account for. so if that was my outer wheel the top edge of the tire moves outward a bit AND the forward edge moves inward ... in autox high g turns (with bumps) it may rub the inner fender(frame?) very slightly, especially with brand new tires. I might try to hammer it in a bit and paint over rub marks, but I think my wheel offset is just right for this setup up.

So gents, whats the scoop on those Vitour Tempesta P1's? So far comments I encountered was 'like A052s but lasts longer'. How's the side wall stiffness compared to RE71RS? Any evos running them yet?

They have been doing well on the supras. Only comments have been once they get greasy to not keep pushing them they start wearing quickly. Similar to A052. But they take longer to get to that point.
