alignment problem
 
hey guys i just recenetley got a alignment last week and have the fenders trimmmed(all 4 corners done by s factor) bumper tabs relocated as well. now i told them certain specs in my alignment so i wouldnt rub on my setup. 17x8, 17x9 +45 offset. my tires are 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear.

Now my issue is my rear left tire doesnt rub at all but my right rear tire rubs a little bit. it has a couple small cut marks about 4 inches long, only from cornering hard becuase i thought my alignemnt would be fine. Also what would cause my right rear camber not to match? i dont quiet understand that.

so how much camber do i really need? or would 2.2 on both be okay? is -2.0 maxing out the factory camber? Im 1.2 inches lower front and rear on springs.

here are my current specs.

That just looks like a Ho-Hum alignment to me...I do alignments every day so I have the luxury of doing my own car and I can say that it's pretty easy to make everything even on a side-side basis. Whoever aligned it probably just didn't make the -2.0 into a -2.2 because they already thought it was out pretty far and didn't deem it necessary to adjust it because then they'd have to re-adjust rear toe as well. I'm just speaking from experience here, not what may have actually happened.

Depending how low you go is what depends how much camber you can get out of the OEM adjusters before you need other methods of adjusting. For instance, at your height -2.2 to -2.5 is probably max camber you'll get out of it at static sitting height, My car is 2.25" lower than stock and I can pull -3.0 to -3.3 out of the rear on OEM adjustments.
