putting wheels on will not affect your camber, so if you didn't touch the suspension then it was that way before you put the new wheels on. Neg camber is caused by lowering and/or adjustable camber plates/arms

no i know that, i dropped the car with neuspeed race springs. I noticed it though when my new wheels and spacers were put on. I noticed and and could see it more. Just don't know if i should go get it aligned or not.

You have to get it aligned when you lower it, ALWAYS. Camber it self isn't that bad and wont wear out the tires that fast. the main problem, when combined with neg camber is toe. any misalignment in toe will destroy your tires pretty quick. go to a reputable shop that has a laser based 4 wheel alignment and have it done, its worth the 60 bux vs 300+ when you destroy the tires in one season... don't ask how I know lol. Most chain tire stores wont do it on a lowered car, and if they do its usually pretty half assed, find a good local shop to bring it to.

Like stated before, all you need is the toe alignment done. You would need a camber kit to align the camber, but your tires would be pooping out if they were camber aligned. Looks good btw.

Just get the toe adjusted, the amount of your camber your runing isnt anything.
people are runing much more then that with perfect wear.
