Plus, 3 weeks ago at Auto Club Speedway, a track buddy who just got front camber on his E90 M3 set up for -3.2 was asking "what's your camber at the front?" Me: "-3.2." Him: "Really? Mine's -3.2 also, but yours look so much more aggressive than mine." Well, now I know why!

Also, saw a S14 recently that had -4.5 camber at the front and looks similar to mine.

This was a case of manual alignment being superior to a particular alignment machine. The shop knows that their alignment machine is off, but they obviously don't realize by how much it's off.

what suspension are you on???!?! that looks crazy camber!

Has anyone had issues clearing their coilover's springs up front with 10" rims and 275/35 tires, specifically RS3s?

My set just arrived yesterday.

Those of you that are running TPMS, where did you purchase the TPMS with valve stems, did you put them in yourself (can't seem to find a DIY), or did you just take them into the tire shop and they took care of everything?

Hi.

Just got my Apex wheels this week.
Hyper Silver
18x9.5 - 265/35/18 - R-S3
18x10.5 - 285/35/18 - R-S3

Stock Suspension. (Ground Control Camber Plates for the front have arrived but haven't been installed yet.)

As far as TPMS, I just found someone selling the BERU set new. Had the tire shop deal with it. Took them no time at all to install TPMS.

Here's the results:

Here are some pics of the Hyperblack 18X10 ET25 ARC8s on my car. The rears have a 10mm spacer, I changed it to 12mm spacers in the rear and the stance is now perfect!

The ARC-8 looks great on your car Checkmate! Great choice on the Hyper Black wheels to compliment with your Alpine White!
