should i get new wheels?

i dropped my car to about a two finger gap back in the fall '03, so there was a slight camber, it's not too bad. later that fall i acquired some mr7s(215/40/17) and i've been on kuhmo ecsta supra 712s since.

my question is, when i put on my camber kit (which i plan on getting soon), should i replace my rear tires? all tires? or none? sorry if this seems so elementary , but i just want to make sure. i was just thinking of replacing all the tires for my peace of mind.

thanks in advance.

you could just swap the tires from the left wheel to the right and even out the wear.

pandagrl624 is an unknown quantity at this point
But if the tires are directional tires you cannot do that. The best thing to do is bring your rims to a store and ask them to flip the tires inside out...it will last you twice as long.

You cant just switch the rims....but you can take the tires off the wheels and just switch them and that should be right....even out the tread.
