Default How many washers can I use?

I have some pretty bad camber in my rear wheels so I decided to do the washer/bolt trick. I have about -3.7 in one so if each washer gives me 1/2+ camber that would require 7 washers. All the DIY i have read up on (using Search Engine =]), use only about 2-3 washers. I just want to use 4-5 washers, would that be safe?

Give me your thoughts,
Kevin

3 washers is max then the bolt wont even fit anymore. If you do anymore thats just dumb and more work

If you have -3.7 degrees of camber in the rear, I don't even know how you can see your tires, hence "stop tucking your wheels."

I don't have any gap between the fender and the tire, and I only have -1.7 or so.

Anyway, use 2-3 at the most.

yah.. i think 3-4 is my best bet.. thnx. And if my bolt wont fit, I can always buy longer bolts but still, I think that many washers would be unstable/unsafe.
