Default Negative Camber.


Hey Guys, here is my current setup.

18" LE37
7.5f/8.5r
+48f/+50r
225/40r , 255/35r

Alignment settings:
-.9 front
-2.3 rear
6.5 caster front
1/32 toe in front
1/4 toe in rear.

The problem is......i RUB!!!! hahah. SO what's the maximum negative camber allowed in our cars so that i can stop rubbing??? yes yes, i know it'll cause bad camber wear on my tires but at the moment, i drive 2 miles a day to work and back and i dont have the time and the money to shell out 215/245 tires. Thanks in advance.



Tim

Driver side front usually has limited camber. My '05 was only able to get about -1.5 and -1.3 with me in it. Passenger side front can usually go over -2 and the rears close to -3 on AP2s in my experience. My CR was the same except that the drivers front was able to get -2 degrees of camber.

I have KWV3s on my AP2 and for whatever it's worth, the least amount of negative camber I could get in the rear was -2.3 or so. Unfortunately, I don't know what the max was.
