Allrighty, time to work on the allignment, so far I was recommended 0 toe all around. Any other opinions?
It's a stock class ITR, no work on suspension, 225/45/r15 in front and 205/50/r15 in rear.

thanks,

 

I prefer 3mm toe out in front, and 0 toe in rear.

1/16" of toe OUT on each side (1/8" total) for the front
0" of toe to very slight toe IN for the rear

 

Take a look at this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=842268

BTW, He is a very good autocrosser and much can be learned.

Also search the archives for comments by DFauth. He won Nationals twice (I believe) in an ITR.

 

Hi Mike,
More than 1/8" total toe out in front usually causes some odd tire wear, if you are concerned about that. I know one guy who runs around town on 1/8" total toe out with no issues.... but my experience was not the best wear. Toe out in front is really nice to have, IMO.

Rear tires... I'd stay at zero. But some of the big hitter autox guys probably have some better insight.

Good luck taking down h00bert and baRtek.

 

I dont personally run stock class, but I believe to run a non OEM tire in stock class it must be of the same size as OEM, (ie 195/55/15 were standard on the R). I could be wrong on that... anyway, as everyone else has said, I run 1/16" out on the fronts, zero in the rear. Car rotates very nicely with this setup and does not wear the tires in every day driving.

Stock allows any size tire on a wheels the same size as stock with an offset no more than 1/4" different than stock. His tire setup is the correct one for an ITR in DS.

 

ok, got my alignment done, we'll see in 2 weeks (next autox) how much difference it is going to make. thanks for the help, seems like I just may be able to cause trouble for a certain black ITR.. BUHAHAHA,, they need to fear me now

 

well, ok, something still bothers me a bit
Can someone explain the physics behind the toe-out? How does it actually help during autox?

 

it aids in turn in and makes the steering more responsive.

 

Correction, any tire size that doesn't immediately rub holes in the fender liners.
