What you need now is to roll your fenders.

205/50-15 is a tall tire. depending how much camber you have in the back, that will dictate how low you can go.

well, what is correct? if you are going lower, you will need more neg camber to clear such a large wheel. personally, i run -2.5 degrees in the back, but my car is mostly suited towards racing.

if you lowered your car after an alignment...u will have to get it realigned. It will throw off the camber
