A little backround: I got a set of 15x7s and they rub on the rear. I don't have facts, but behind the wheel it says "ET35" Probably meaning offset is 35mm. Whatever it is, it's making my rear tires rub. (195-50s on 15x7)

So I will do 2 things: roll my fenders and add some camber. Right now, I have no camber in the rear (0.01) because I used the washer method. Now, the question is <U>if I add camber, will that offset my toe? (only in rear) I'm staying at the same ride height </U>btw...

Suspension gurus help me out

edit- my car is aligned to 0 toe front and rear.

i've always heard that any adjustment to your suspension will effect toe. i guess someone more knowledgable than me needs to chime in.

 

when you dial camber in the back the toe will deff change it happen on my car

I'm lowering it slightly so it's getting aligned anyways, just wondering. Also, with the 15x7s, I get mad torque steer

 

Toe is all out of whack by a lot. Rear wheels are pointing in so much... It's getting realigned when I get all brand new tires.

Just thought I would share. By increasing camber you do affect toe, even if you keep your ride height the same.

 

Sorry I didn't make it sooner, but yeah changing camber will definently alter your toe. If you think about it, your tilting the wheel in or out at the top. The toe links (tie rods front & compensator arms rear) connect in the middle. If they don't change length/location in proper proportion, it will cause the tire to steer in one direction or the other.

- If you reduce negative camber in the front, your tires will toe out.
- If you reduce negative camber in the rear, your tires will toe in.

Toe is definitely the last setting that you should do when aligning a car.

 

just in case people wanted to know. when aligning the method should go rear camber caster toe, then front camber caster toe, alsways checking thrust angle before done

Yes.
