i have mine set at -2 degrees front and -2.5 rear. be sure when rolling fronts, to shave that tab where the fender/bumper meet. it will slice the tires quickly if left alone.

i have a similar setup in the front 19x9.5 +22. any reason why you went straight for the "hella flush" arms. it doesnt matter either way, just wondering. i have the "regular" skunk2 arms and they allowed enough camber for me. more camber wouldn't have helped me any becsause i only rub when turning the wheel on inclines.

rears may need around -3.5 camber...many others have run that size in the rear that can chime in but thats an easy adjustment.

i went with the "hellaflush" coz i thought the regular skunk2s won't allow me that much camber.. if i knew i could've saved 80+ dollars and put those somewhere else..oh yeah I'm going to trim that part where the bumper meets the fender..my driver fronts are getting sliced already on turns and inclines but i raised it 1/2 inch to prevent that. thanks for the input now i have an idea of running -2 in the fronts. i might just go with -3.5 like u said but il wait for other inputs. thanks again.

i'm running -3.5 all the way around and i don't rub anymore on turns. the only thing that happens sometimes is if i pull into a parking lot entrance (gas station, etc) the front tires will rub the plastic fender lining...it may sound bad on the ears, but it isnt doing any damage whatsoever to anything. so i'm happy

wheel/tire specs are...

-19 x 9 +25 FRONT
-19 x 9.5 +25 REAR
-225/35/19 FALKEN 452's
-ROLLED REAR FENDERS/PULLED n ROLLED FRONT FENDERS
-DREMELED OFF 2" SECTION WHERE FENDER MEETS FRONT BUMPER.
-LOWERED ON MEGAN COILOVERS/TUCKING 1/2" TIRE
-INGALLS FRONT AND REAR CAMBER KIT

Kix, I also don't think you needed the hellaflush mod done to the Skunks. My Skunks are maxed out and give me plenty of camber for my tires to clear my front fenders, and they aren't even rolled. My front specs are:

-18x8" +35 wheel (+20 including 15mm spacer)
-non-rolled fenders
-215/40/18 tires
-Skunk2 Pro camber kit maxed out (non-hellaflush)
-ISC N1 coilovers
-fender-to-ground distance = 23"

Amazing pics, Aaron! Whore them out for all they're worth lol

If you look up under the front fenders, right before they meet the front bumper, there's a little bulge that flares out underneath a bit...that's what rubs on the tire if you aren't careful.

here you go man.

the section you cut out is circled in red (where the front bumper meets the fender. you'll see the section you need to cut off/grind down...and make sure you use some touch up paint on the area afterwards to prevent rusting. try and get the area as smooth as you can (no sharp edges).

i think the spc gives you more negative camber than the ingalls. il find tom my alignment is scheduled tom.. i read "danscreations" thread and he had both rear kits. he said that it helped a lot on his set up before.
