^^Depends on your drop but for the most part yes. If you're running aggressive offsets, sometimes it's not worth spending the money for camber arms since you probably need some of the camber to fit the wheels and there's not much to correct...you'll be out of spec anyways. Some of the guys on here actually need the camber arms to increase camber in order to the fit the wheels, not to correct it. If you're concerned with tire wear, I'm assuming your fitment is conservative and yes you will want camber arms to preserve the life of your tires.

the concept of camber arms is to corrected negative camber from lowering cars, but people like me to use them to add even more camber to achieve greater wheel space. if you use the for the original intent you can get nearly zero on your camber front and rears. most brands are all the same.

sup bro, my car has been acutally demantled for about 2 months now. the kid that bought my wheels hangs out there, he also has a black coupe and he picked up my single exhaust. i think he even wants my sides and front so the car will look just like mine.

its cool as long as it lives on, i am happy

what kind of tires would you run on this wheel spec to make them look nice and agressive

19x8.5 F +15
19x10 R + 20

and i would run spacers too if needed in the front for a more flush fit and in

the back to make them stick out so it seems

like the car is sitting on the wheels (ie. robzone)
