just put some 16" on my car, and know they are toed in. is it possible to have an alignment with stock? how so if you cant adjust them?? anyway, i found a tire shop that sells no name brand for $40 ea. wich is pretty cheap. any better deals than that???

 

toe or camber? front or rear?

 

im confused, i thought camber is when the tire is toed in or toed out(neg or pos.) but its toed in.

 

yes, you are confused.

this is (negative) camber. looking at the front of the grill: / \



this is toe (in). looking from above. / \


which is it?

also its a little castered inwards. and its just the front tires

 

oh,, both lol. but more negitive camber than toed in

 

just fix your toe. get an alignment.

 

ok thanks man will an alignment also fix the negative camber

 

no. the only adjustment in a normal alignment is toe.

negative camber is beneficial to handling. dont try to get rid of it.

oh really? thats cool, i just dont want it to wear faster though

 

the myth that camber creates tire wear when lowering is wrong. its the change in toe that causes the uneven tire wear. toe is corrected by an alignment. negative camber is beneficial to handling, especially when lowered.

the difference of a cambered tire is that the tire is moving along the direction of motion relative to the street. theres no more friction than rolling resistance. plus, a tire will flatten out at the contact patch. a badly toed tire is forcing the tire to move against the motion relative to the street, like its constantly turning.

 

Whats a good negative camber setting for a 2.5 inch drop?
