That's simply awesome, the first tyre/rim calculator I've seen with camber!
It would be great to add templates or overlays for front and rear guards/ride height.

Also could we all add brembo clearance to the template or is that info redundant?

We already have a gen 4 wheel thread...This is simply a flushness thread.

All this thread really needs is wheel and tyre specs, what you've done to your guards and ride height/camber. Ride height can be measured from centre of wheel to the top of the guard arch.

And of course, we need pics :D

Best I can do for now. This is the JDM STI Enkeis which are 18x8 with 235/40/18 tyres. Will take a photo soon when it's actually at a stand still :D

Image

As you can see, fills the guards a lot better than the standard 18x7.5 STI Enkeis, I noticed this difference straight away when putting these on!
