Get a good alignment . Toe kills tires x10 faster then camber. Depending on the tire itself will also determine the wear. Remember that

x2

I love Negative Camber, Helps so much in the Turns. Toe changes when you lower your car. Toe wear is what kills your tires. So when you lower it make sure toe is set to "0" and your tire life will be much longer.


This info has already been posted. Just wanted to back it up again.

- Wed Apr 08, 2009 8:49 pm #109219 I have been having rubbing issues forever! I ran 16" with 205/45/16s for two years with a 3" drop.

I recently installed a set of 15" with 185/55/15s and have no problems at all!!! My car is as low as it can go with no rubbing :0)

I still have my camber kit up front and in back, but yes the tires do wear quick on the inside with out one.

It doesn't matter if you have a camber kit or not. A camber kit is not going to save your tires from wear. Getting the toe adjusted will save the tires.

with the +38mm offset, it will stick out 20mm more than say a LS meshie, so it totally doable.

- Thu Apr 09, 2009 1:57 am #109288 If they had been ET0 you would've recieved immediate baller status for pokey out wheels and stretch. I would have demanded arch pulling antics to occur also if this was the case.

However it's not. I hate tyre tucking personally and low offsets with stretchu and arch work is the way forward.

I will demonstrate this on my next motor.

please explain in dumb words for me like i said im still a newbie to this whole thing soo some terms or words you using i have to google them lol

but anyways so all i have to worry about right now is the fact of rubbing with 16's?!?! right?

- Thu Apr 09, 2009 2:30 pm #109421 yeah because if you are going to lower it to tuck tire then you are probably going to rub.

- Thu Apr 09, 2009 2:33 pm #109425 it'll prolly only rub on he fender liner though right not a big deal though?
