Buzzman Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 After trying to fit an agressive setup and failing I decided to sell my wheels. When I got my new wheels, I kept the alignment and camber settings from my old wheels, however. The new wheels fit well with the amount of camber I have but I feel like they're a bit too sunken in from all the negative camber. First, do I need a new alignment regardless of if they fit or not? And second, if I do not need an alignment, should I hold off on one since my wheels already fit with my prexisting camber settings? Thanks guys.

StoplightAssassin Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 What are all of the alignment settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzman Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 About 2 degrees of negative camber in both the front and the back. Toe I think is almost at 0. I would have to find the sheet to find the exact specs. I have my camber plates on my front coilovers maxed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 2 degrees of negative camber will cause the insides to wear a bit faster, but shouldn't be too bad. Find that spec sheet though. If you're on stock hardware, I can't see how you got -2 out back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 As long as your suspension is relatively stiff, 2 degrees of camber won't cause any substantial increase in tire wear. Tire wear typically associated with increased camber is almost always caused by toe changes as the wheel cycles scrubbing the shoulder. That scrubbing is simply more pronounced when camber angles increase as there is some additional load seen on the surface of the tire. That load, alone, won't increase tire wear by itself.

Came in here to say this... but found it already well handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
