1st gen CRV Camber question
So I got a 1st Gen CRV back in October. When I got it, it was already lowered. I was told it had ek front struts with h&r springs. In the rear it had a no name coilover setup. The ride was decent but it rubbed on the front passenger side on almost every dip in the road, especially when I had any passengers. Since winter was coming around I decided to raise the car back to stock height, hence installing the original suspension.
Originally I had 16" rsx wheels with a 55 series tire. Earlier this week I was doing my daily craigslist search and I came across a set of wheels that I couldn't pass up. I purchased 2008 Acura TL Type S 17x8 wheels. I just ordered 1 extra wheel to have all 5. I mounted the rims 2 days ago, the rear seem to fit perfect. However, the front seems to stick out a bit (still at stock height).
NOW'S THE QUESTION...
I'm afraid to install the same front suspension the CRV (ek struts with h&r springs). Will the car camber enough by lowering it to clear the fender, or would I have to get a camber kit to try to adjust it. I never bought or used a camber kit so this is where my ignorance comes in. Any help will be very much appreciated.
Here's a few pictures of the car before and after the new wheels
