You never responded to what I asked. What is the offset on the wheel...?

Brian, i dont know the offset, and nobody in queens does camber alignment, thats why im having a hard time, and nobody knows what degrees to set the camber, i might just adjust it to -3 even if the tires wear out quicker

well without the offset no one will be able to help... you should have probably ran a 235 series tire ... you will just have to mess with the camber on your camber kit... just tell them you want to set the camber so that it doesnt rub anymore they will have to play with it until you find that sweet spot or else like i mentioned get a narrower tire in the back

235 on a 10 inch wide rim

to the OP, acura allows a degree or so of camber so I'm guessing that is what you are at. In all honesty you should have the inner lip on the fender rolled before trying to toy with your alignment and push it out of spec.

How bad is the tire rubbing against the fender? you will gain about .18 inch for every degree of camber you have so if it's rubbing badly, you may need 2.5 degrees of camber. Just remember, the more negative camber you have, the faster you are going to run through tires!

Post a pic of your car straight from the rear so we can see how far out your tire and rim sits.

I was rubbing badly with the manufactor spec on the camber, i just finished getting the car cambered to -2.5 and its better, it rubs but barely when i make turns as in gettin out of sidewalks and when the road goes up n down, it rubs alittle, but i seen a piece near my tire that screw and its scratching my tire, would that be 1 reason my tire is messing up cause of that screw? because i see scratch marks from the screw on my tire

can you take a picture of this "screw"? Also you are running 255/30/20 which is 2% to big for the car! Your factory tire has a diameter of about 25 inches while the tire you are running has a diameter of 26 inches!

It might be worth it in the future to stick with a 255/25/20 tire instead...
