Negative camber advice

i'm getting my car re-aligned and want to add some negative camber because at zero, i'm rubbing my rears on some bumps around town.

I have tenzo formula 10s with 205/40/17 es100s...so is -1 too much and will -1 even help?

i'm just hoping that some negative camber will stop some rubbing...i suppose i can roll my fenders a little also.



thanks for the help

duyaknow is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm suprised how much your wheel sticks out. Did you get the wrong offset? I'm not even sure if Tenzo makes wheels with a offset below +40.

Oh well, roll the fenders man. And if you have a camber kit, just adjust it yourself now. It's not going to be aligned anyway, so might as well do it yourself. Just do it with consideration and thought. Turn both sides the same number of times, and just enough till you stop getting the rubbing problem. Plus keep track of how many times you turn it, in case you want to return it to the original setting. Good luck and try to save money...haha.

They do look like the wrong offset. They stick out way too far. I am currently running -.8. I think you will be fine, but the closer to get to -1 is fine. -1 won't show that much wear.
