Added spacers.... Now camber issues?.
 
Being new to the 370 model I decide to add spacers to my stock set up. 20mm to the front and 25mm to the back. Stock rays. After install I loved the flush look but noticed the rear wheels appeared to have negative camber. I hope I'm using the correct terminology here. The top of the wheel is farther in while the bottom of the rims is farther out. I'm wondering if I can make my own adjustment. If so how. I honestly didn't think that adding small spacers would cause that. I used a level on the rims and it appears that the top of the wheel could be adjusted out about 1/2-3/4 inch. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Camber has always been there. The spacers don't add camber. Visually it just intensifies it. Even in spec, our cars have some camber to them. If you have a '11 Z and have never had it aligned, that could be another reason why your camber looks so far out. But like I said, the camber was there before the spacers. Just not as obvious now that the wheels are more flush with the body.

Thanks for the advice. It has 18k miles so I guess an alignment will bring it as close as it can. Just not used to seeing it that far out.
