Do I Need More Camber?







19x8.5 +20, 225/40/19 (F)
19x9.5 +20, 245/40/19 (R)

Rear fenders are rolled flush.

Rear camber is set to -2.5, fronts have a natural camber of -1.7~

I'm thinking about doing -3 for the rear to avoid rubbing with a full car.

Right now the rear left fender rubs a little, but it's a different kind of rubbing. Something I'm not too worried about.

What do you guys think? Should I go for -3 camber in the back?

Yeah, probably every 10,000 miles. But that's fine, my annual mileage is only around 8,000.

Damn those shop'd pics look sick.

What you need is some tire shine.

BTW, what are you dropped on in the first pic?

NICE! Thanks for taking your time to do this. It just motivated me to drop my car even more.

I think some stretched tires in the back would do you better

Lowered more, more camber and stretched tires would look sick.

You are welcome and I agree to slamness, camberness, and tire shineness.

I liked it better with less camber. Now it looks like the hot wheels I used to step on when I was a kid.

My hot wheels were never that low with aggressive offsets. Were yours made in Japan?

Sick dude! I'm definitely gonna lower the car more but I'm prolly not gonna go crazy with the front camber like that. Haha, too agressive for me.. Rear is already -2.5, I'm gonna have it set to -3.
