Rear Camber Kit / Tires Q

I need a rear camber kit since I dropped my ride, I have 17's w/ 215/45 Pirellis.
I got them because I've got a lengthy commute. Problem is the tires are too wide for the camber kit, as far as I've heard. If this is true, does anyone have a suggestion for a good tire for commuting (which I only have to do for 6 more months), after which I can put on a better performance tire. Thanks in advance!

Also, from searching previous threads, its seems the SPC rear camber kit is the way to go, what do ya think?

Well I have the eibach camber kit, I believe its the same as the SPC. Anyhow I had the same problem but I have 18's with 215/35 tires, and I couldn't have my car properly aligned without rubbing.

Maybe you could switch to a 205 tire if they fit on the rims which they should.

You could prob get a good price on the Kuhmo Ecsta(sp). I hear they are a good tire for the price.

what you need to do is get an air saw and cut the metal lip in the wheel well that is about an inch.
happy adjusting of the camber
