adjust rear camber to -1.2 which will bring the top of the tire closer to the inside of the fender or go with the wider tire. 295 is a bit of a stretch on a 11" wheel.

Never thought I'd be saying that to you, haha.

Hint, check Off Topic.

I tried, but it throws the toe out of spec for some reason. I have the SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts installed, but they couldn't do it for some reason. I am probably about 3 inches lower than stock too, don't know if that matters.

I really wanted my camber to match front and rear, but my buddy couldn't do it. They're using that hunter alignment rack.

Sounds like somebody doesn't know what they are doing when adjusting alignment. There is no reason why you can't set both. Set camber first, then set toe. Watched this done several times on my car and I don't even have after-market adjustable parts, just oem. He was able to get the settings I asked for, especially in the rear since camber is adjustable.

when you're dropped over 3" like Aaron and I are, the toe gets maxed out and you can only get the camber so far. My camber and toe are maxed out and i have about -1.8 degrees of camber. The arms have more room to go positive but that would throw out the toe that is already maxed out. There's a very fine line when doing the alignment, i'm the only person that's ever touched my car, including doing my own alignments.

Yeah he pretty much told me the exact same thing. I shouldn't have wear issues at -1.6 anyway (within stock coupe specs). I was actually watching him do it too, every time he'd have the camber set right starting at -1, and toe would be in red (wont go further), so he went negative a lil more and more. Finally he just said f' it, set the toe right, and adjusted the camber as positive as he can without getting the toe out of spec again. That hunter alignment rack was sick though.......it was in the ground so my car drove right on it. The other one I went to had a ramp, oh man I was literally few mm from scraping my front end nasty

Grant let me know when you ever decide to work firestone again (I know you swore up and down you wouldnt), I do have lifetime alignment. Since you and him are the only two techs I'd trust when it comes to alignment, you are actually closer to me now that I moved.

Well then I guess there are two options left then, raise the car up some or get wider tires.

Who did the fender flaring for you?

Raising it is not an option.

It is a Driver thing, read through the "Gentlemen of the forum" thread in Off Topic. You of all people should get a good belly laugh or 2.
