just a few questions, mainly aimed towards the people who are slammed.
i wanna know:

how much camber are you running???

what are/were your experiences with your camber?

what wheel setup?

and

did/do you rub?

i am currently at -3 in the fronts and about -4.5 in the rears...(natural camber)

i can't really say anything about my experience with it cuz i just got new tires today.

i have stock 3g wheels 17x8 +45 with 235/45, and so far i am rubbing a lot in the front. and i need to fix that

-3 and -4.5 how friggin low are you? That's a bit extreme for natural, I have -1 up front and -1.5 rear with a 2" drop. 255/35/18 +50 slight roll on the rears and zero rubbing.

If you are that low and rubbing you need narrower tires.

Any recommendations on size?

You might get away with a 225. Also find what it is exactly you are rubbing on. If its the fender liner maybe you can trim a portion of it so that you dont rub on it anymore.

and i pretty much cut both tires on the front a lil bit due to the metal parts next to the UCA's, the ones that point downwards.

my only solution was to raise the car since i got new tires. i raised the front about 2.5cm and the rear 1cm.

i was rubbing my in all 4 corners going straight when i got the tires as well.


isn't tire stretching bad? i never did any research, but some input would help me make decisions in the future

If you are rubbing that bad you are too low for driving. Your tire just simply doesnt have any more room to go up in the wheel well. About the only thing that might help a little is a smaller tire and smaller sidewall. Maybe someone who is slammed like that can chime in?S

I have a little over -2 in the rear and no tire wear for the past 15k miles. However up front I am running like -.5 I think. I have gotten some wear on the inside edge of the front tires but I am pretty sure its from toe being out. My suspension has settled up front since installation ( 2 years ago) and that is why it has thrown toe out giving some tire wear. It has settled about a 3/4 of finger in wheel gap up front, so im sure that has thrown toe out.

I have an ingalls adjustable upper control arm up front and its maxed out. I do have a rear camber kit laying (SPC upper arm) around iv never installed, so i plan on throwing that on and setting the rear to like -1.25 or -1.50. Then get the front toe adjusted and ill be good to go.

Id say its pretty safe to run -2 in the rear (stock tire size 205/60/16), any more than that i would not run.

mine wouldnt stop.... i was rubbing just going straight, i had to raise the car. on the freeway you could even smell the rubber burning. with my fenders up front pulled i still couldn't make a full turn. tire stretching will happen eventually for me.

even when my tires were bald all around i rubbed a bit in the rear and sometimes rubbed doing U turns.

what wheels do you have right now? specs+experiences

sliversurfer23

i dont rub only wen i turn all the wayy i have my type s and look how much camber im runing that y im not rubing as much as u are

sliversurfer23

look how i sit

idk how you even have that much negative camber, but judging by ur pictures your car is really raked and my rears are lower than urs. if i had more negative camber up front i think i'd be rubbing even more inside the wheel well

sliversurfer23

Yea i dont have my rear low as much i have spacers in my rear n i had it low i rased it up bc i was scrapping my whole muffler system evey where i go i still do but less now then b4 .... it simple since u have a drop ur camber is already ay -2 and once u put the front camber kit its gonna give u more camber if ur slammed
