Negative Camber
 
Hey, guys/gals. Got a little question about negative camber. Before I had 275/35-19 on the rear now I have 285. Was doing that created the negative camber? Its not much but looking at it from the back today I just noticed the top of the rear tires going inward. Is it allright for the rear tires to have a little bit of negative camber?

Factory spec is around negative 2 degrees. Just had my alignment done and it's not adjustable either

So, should I just swap the rears left to right every 3000 miles to wear em out evenly?

Not if you have directional tires.:eekdance:

What tire brand do you have? If you are able to flip them side to side, the negative camber excessive wear is still going to be facing inside.

Only way to wear them out evenly is to drift :)

Bought the Michellin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. Didn't say anything about it being directional or asymmetrical? Or maybe I'm just blind.

Edit: So I would have to buy camber kits or toe kits to straighten them out?

From what Ive read toe kit is if youve gone uber low, IMO camber arms would get you back to spec

normal for our car's suspension geometry. another reason why i only run asymetrical tires.

Allright, I'll just watch the tire wear then just to make sure. Thanks.

My last set was the A/S 3 and I was able to flip them side to side

It is adjustable for the rear via eccentric bolts along with the toe. The front is not.

Maybe what hes running into is the rear camber adjustment being maxed out?

Yep;The eccentric bolts can be adjusted on rear,,,,you won't get much past -1.7* though.
Also remember-if you adjust the camber to max positive; it will also increase your +toe.
tires should wear evenly (if you're not doing Funny-Car Burnouts! )
