the 512 are the best when it comes to stretching but the 912 replaced them. its better in every way other then the stretching part because its side wall is softer. They only sell new 512 to discount tires and no where else. that is what i have been told. but you are right 512 is the best and nicest stretch you can get. 215 on a 10in is mega stretch for me man. i wanted 215 on my 9.5 but i saw some pictures of it, its pretty crazy 225 on a 9.5 still looks good to me. and in socal most of the free ways are all messed up driving on mega stretch with -3 or -5 camber is very unsafe.

a lot of xb people have -8 camber for show only then they put on -5 for daily. the racing harts are sick tho you have a lot of room on the inside too so just camber as much as you can for show only.

yeah those you can still get no prob. and shipping is free from their site. cause thats all I ever run lol. and a 215 aint nothing. I would run that all day long. and my -5 camber I cant even tell its on my car AT ALL. its not unsafe. I actually handle a little better with my camber.

now do i need to get longer studs? at -5 i am not sure if the oem ones will reach at tight safely? i can take off a oem and bring it to a pep boys ar auto zone and see if they can match it with a longer one maybe 5mm more longer

no you will not need to buy bolts. it comes complete with the bolts washers and lock washers. if you go on realcamber.com you will see there is a pdf file that shows the install and shows what all it comes with.

all right guys they are official and work!!! ;D not without some leg work done so we will have some for the cube.

wheel sizes that were fitted to the car are 16x8 +0 and 18x9.5 +35

the 18's have the same clearence next to the strut with the camber as they did without the camber shims in place.

i bought some xxr's for now since it has been a pita trying to find a good set of wheels in the offsets i wanted with our bastardized bolt pattern.

here are some pics
18x9.5 +35

16x8 +0

and the stance i am hoping to achieve 8)

so the camber shims i got are from realcamber.com they are for a scion xb there are some modifications that had to be made to fit, nothing big.

Dan is the guy you want to talk to and please let him know where you saw them.

Dan will be enlarging the abs sensor hole so they will fit the cube the only mod needed. everything bolts right up thread pitch and bolt length that was supplied also worked.

he is a stand up guy helping me out with this project!!
