Guys - who is running the R7 Hoosiers and in what fitment front and rear?

Please include your base alignment specs if possible.

My set up is 112/125; 3.2/2.5; 600/800.

TIA!

Hoosier A7

F: 255/35; 3.0 camber; stock springs; 115 ride height
R: 315/30; 3.0 camber; stock springs; 128 ride height

Setup for autox. Heavy rubbing full lock, which isn't ever used during autox. Just can't turn the steering wheel more than 1 full turn in either direction, but the extra mechanical grip is worth it.

I am amazed you can fit 255s up front, loworbitsi!

What size wheels, width esp; what offsets; and did you roll the fenders?

Thx for the data point.

255 is very easy to fit especially a /35 which is very short. I run 275/35s on 10" fronts at a 100mm ride height and -3.4 camber. It's all about offsets and having the ability to fully adjust castor along with the rest of the suspension. Moving the radiators forward 1/2" is a must for a rub free set up.

We had figured you had played w your castor a bit when we reviewed your posts in the R1 thread (in add to chging offset). Good stuff, thanks for posting 'round here.
