how do you guys figure out the camber degree? any tips? bout to see an alignment shop soon

 

what specifically do you want to know? Your current settings? Ratio of clearance to camber*?

If you just want to know the settings, take it to a shop.

 

For me I have a general sense as to the range of camber I would need based on the width, offset, and tire size. But when making adjustments at home its mostly trial and error. From a previous alignment I know my starting camber. Mount the wheels then add or subtract camber based on how it looks. My goal was to get the tire as close to the fender as possible without rubbing and be at about -4 degrees camber. I didn't know how much camber I was actually running until I got an alignment. The alignment was just to get the toe back in spec since the camber was dialed in perfectly.

You can also set the camber how you want based on a visual and then pull the fenders (assuming its within the range of a pull) to clear the amount of camber you have set the car at.

 

To add on what Marcus stated. I would get an alignment asap if you adjust the camber yourself. Playing with the camber can really affect your toe, which eats up your tire.

And what I asked for at the alignment shop was to match the camber once everything was dialed in. You do not want them to add positive camber. So I told them if the driver side was at – 3.75 and passenger was at -4, make them both -4 and get the toe within factory specs.

 

i know this is the sedan section but the coupe guys never answer anything, all they do is post pictures of their cars and any little thing they do to them.....sooo il ask here

my friend is thinking of picking up some wheels that are 19x11 in the back, with a 48 offset, and he wants to know how they will fit, if anyone has pics of a similar setup please post them, i tried searching but to much useless junk keeps poping up

 

If that's for a coupe^, hella hella tucked

 

Why such a high offset?? It may hit the shock or if he has true coils it will hit .. I'm not 100% . Wait till Marcus or Blain get in here

 

Not sure if he'll have inner clearance issues, but he should be able to go a bit more aggressive. What size tire is he planning to run and how much fender work as this guy done? I assume he's pretty low.

 

Can I play in the sand with the big boys?

Looks awesome! Love the new look now.

 

From what I've seen what other guys with 11's in the back have done, he needs a good 20 or 25mm spacer. I think Chris had a +29 and the inner barrel was hitting the shock. A +48 won't fit at all I don't think.

 

rear coils are maxed out on bCs, with 200mm springs, But needs shorter struts for more low.
I need to install my camber kit, my driver side has more camber then my pax rear.



Was playing with Little photo App on the fone



And chopped ofcourse. If I pull the trigga on them 20x10.5 +0 for rears

 

They won't fit at all.

Aaron was at 20x11 +36? and he was a couple MM from rubbing in an OEM style multilink rear end with little to no camber.

He's going to need at least a 15mm spacer minimum and his camber is going to have to be perfect. Aaron put in more work on running 11s than most of us have.

Like Levon said, Chris was running -3 camber with a +27 or something and he was rubbing strut pretty good, until he went to roughly +20.

I would tell him if he's not willing to put in work then he probably should look at some different wheels.

 

Mextep, is your car DG or BS? If DG, you are my mexican twin.

 

DG...kinda like the Danny Devito & Arnold in the movie TWINS( I am devito)?
