Burnt rubber smell coming from front tires...
Burnt rubber smell coming from front tires...
Hey, hopefully I can get some input on this situation...
I dropped my car on eibachs about a month ago, had the rear spc camber installed 2 weeks later. I cant seem to tell outside but once I pull into my garage where there is no wind, I can smell sort of like a burnt rubber smell when close enough to the front tires. Is this the front tires taking a beating from the neg camber? Or something more serious I should have checked out?

Do you know the wheel sizes/offsets, and the tire sizes?

as for camber:
camber will not cause a burning smell as camber only relates to the tires being driven with more load on the inner treads vs. using the whole tire more (in your case at least)

hey eug, stupid question but did you do an alignment (it could be possible toe sheer)?
Are you sure you're not smelling your brakes (rather than your tires)?
Are you driving the car hard making the tires work?
Your tire size doesn't justify any rubbing but it all depends on your offsets... do your tires sit closer to flush with the fender or do they sit very tucked in the fender? If I remember right, those pics of your rims/car i saw a while back, i don't think this is your issue.

yeahh I had an alignment done, and im not driving the car hard at all. Possibly could be the breaks. I think my best bet might be to go to infiniti and have them take a look just incase it is the breaks.
