Camber issue after wheel install

gonzales25 · 06-09-2016, 06:22 PM

Your camber is not far off the specs, only -.02 off in the rear. OE max is -2.2 I would leave it alone.

Whats bothering me is the wheel butterflying in. Its stopping the wheel from looking flush to the fender up top. I had h&r spacers before and main goal for the wheels is obviously the look and not needing spacers to look flush. Went kamispeed, got my spacers springs and intake from them. Josh is always a great help there. Gonna install probably tues hopefully it gets me what I want

Camber don't really wear your tires out.. Its the TOE that will eat them quick..

Maybe I'm reading the sheet wrong but it says current camber -2.4

Yep that's what it says. I am not a fan of my wheels cambering, which is what I am getting in my rear. It's not even about the tire wear it's the look. I was happier with my stock 18s and spacers.

Camber arms will get you were you want to be. I run -2.7 in the rear but I like how it looks and my wheels are flush. I could go more towards stock camber but then I would need to install toe bolts.

even with less of a camber, you'll need spacers. Those wheels won't look as good without spacers

Not sure your driving style; mine is more straight line/with wide open acceleration from a stand still.... I'm only running about -0.5*rear camber & factory-0.8*F
I'm sure your alignment guy dialed the eccentric bolts on the camber arms as much as he could (shortened distance,to pull bottom of tire in) they have markings on them,,,,but when you go more positive on the camber (wheel lean out) you in turn give yourself more toe (wheels point in) .
Your toe setting is great; I have basic Kinetix rear camber arms from Z1 & have them shortened as much as I can (without having too much + toe)
My toe eccentrics are adjusted all the way negative & I adjusted the camber as far positive as I could, without letting toe get too positive.
One adjust directly affects the other.
As far as the front,upper arms are needed for that correction.
Good Luck & be sure your Toe adjustments stay very close to where they are now.

Also, you never even mentioned your wheel or tire specs?
