Default wheel fitment - level / pro BOOM!

I just got some 16x7 ET40 wrapped in a 205/50

I have a '00 Civic Hatch full suspension mods.

I am having a little rub from the fender walls in the back and front.

had to raise the car up.

anyone know a solid camber setting for the front and rear to fit good.

rolling the fender lips today to 180 degrees.

I have the rear sitting at -2.5 and going to get the front to -2 tomorrow...
(less schwab could not get to my upper ball joint sliders with my 26mm bar on.. lulz)

The rear, at -2.5, has plenty of room to drop and after rolled will be to much I think.

anyways has anyone had experience with this size wheel and tire on a civic?(I know 50 sidewall is kinda chunky, especially for a 205 on a 7 inch)

Looking for just enough to fit with no rub and minimal camber.

Skunk2 front cambers
ctr lca's and ctr 26mm front sway bar with hardrace links
skunk2 rear lca's
skunk2 rear cambers
asr rear brace with 26mm sway and PWJDM adj links
for looks beaks bar
Tein Super Street suspension

or should I just trial and error until I find the right height i like and camber that fits? that just seems costly unless you guys have had a solid set-up..

Thanks again HT! BOOM!

anyone.. I usually get responses by now..

Maybe this is where I just have to find my own specs and work on it from there..

you already answered the question

what is with people not wanting to do this? laziness? just get out there and do it already. costly? you picked the wrong hobby.

Fixed, to be more truthful.

205/45-16 (23.2" diameter) is closer to the correct tire size for that car. 205/50-16 is too large (24.5").

195/50-16 might work, though is still a little large (23.7"), and only included to demonstrate how discussing the aspect ratio without the section width is useless (i.e. why I corrected whitesihatch).

The correct tire diameter for the car is 23.4".

I ended up setting 2.2 front and 2.5 rear. The fronts still rub a little on the fender lip and I am going to get them rolled later. Going to drop the car down a little bit and see how the tire works out. Ill post some pictures tuesday after fine tuning the height.
