HELP!!! Wheel Alignment Specs Needed
Can anyone give the TSB specs/webpage link for doing the wheel alignment on 17" wheels? I'm getting my '86 non-turbo aligned and got 18" Kinesis Supercups. I assume the the same specs for the 17" can be used on the 18" wheels. TIA

Sure because you are aligning the suspension not the wheels. You will probably want to go with a little more negative camber all around cause I bet those tires are wider than stock, right?

What's the usage of the car? Street or track?
Honestly, the wheels make no difference, but the tires can make a huge difference. I run a comprimised (but still good) setup that is liveable on the street (a little quick, especially with a smaller steering wheel)
Here's my half street/half track setup:
Body: Front settings -1.0 to -1.5 neg camber
Rear settings -1.0 to -1.25 neg camber
Front caster +2.5 to +3.0
Rear toe -0.07 deg (total toe in)
Front toe -0 deg to -0.25deg neg (total toe in)
This works great with both my 17" CupII's/Yokohama AVS's and is good (but not great) with PZero C's (R compounds).
If your more street oriented, stay near the lower end of the spec, track, closer to the upper end (or go beyond).
