Rodger that.... Im taking it to an alignment shop today in an attempt to reduce the negative camber down to around -1.5 to -1.7. Not sure how much of the adjustment will let out....

I must say, thus far I am very happy with the wheels and fitment. I was fairly concerned about the front rubbung and I believe 35et and 15mm spacers worked out just right.

Alrighty then...

The alignment tech was able to take the rear camber down from -2.2 to -1.5. Wonder how much tire wear that will save me.... I cannot feel any dif in its drivability/cornering what so ever.
