I recently bought some rims (18" Sportmaxx 502) and the ride was straight until I after I got a 4 wheel alignment. Before the alignment, my camber was off (-2.5LR -2.9RR and -1 something on both fronts) Now, that my camber is in the green I touch when going over bumps or taking corners over 25-30mph or U-turns. I'm wondering how far I can go (how much I can lower my camber) with my camber while still staying in the green. Right now the rear is at .05 and .07 Basically, I want to know what the best camber setting would be in order to not rub, but still not get extreme uneven tire wear. Please, help me out.



Cliff notes:

-Rode good w/out rubbing w/bad camber, now the camber is good/green and it's rubbing.

-What is the best camber setting in order to not rub, but still not get extreme uneven tire wear?

Unless you're at the autocross track, there is no need for aggressive negative camber. It will wear your tires a lot faster. The best thing to do for DD is keep the car's alignment as close to stock as possible. I know you won't like hearing this, but since your wheels are rubbing, your car is most likely too low. What size are your tires? If they are too wide that will also cause problems.

.05 is far from what it should be. i think the CL sits at -.5 degrees from the factory.

there is a thread somewhere on here that lists factory spec ranges...need to find it as well as I am taking mine in for an alignment soon

The rear fender tabs were trimmed a lil and there is no more rubbing. I'm lowered on Tein S-Tech and Tokico Blue. My wheels are 18X7.5 +42 or 43 offset. I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

I was trying to figure out how much negative camber I could get away with without wearing on the tires excessively. ie. -.5 etc. but the problem is fixed.
