Roll and/or pull the fenders a bit. Or just get smaller wheels. Camber shouldn't be used to "fit wheels". It's an alignment angle that effects handling and tire wear. For the street you really only need -1 or -1.5 at the most.

Yeah true. But wouldn't it be easier if I get the control arms to adjust camber so my toes won't go off anyways?

If the toe is off u can adjust that stock also, u don't have to have the control arms, they just give u more adjustment and r made better than stock pieces

Negative camber

Sorry to bring an old thread back, but unlike most people I want to get rid of the negative camber in the rear.

Right now after alignment I'm about -1 degree on both sides but would like to go to -0.5 at the most, the alignment shop tells me they can't adjust it any further, anyone have any suggestions?

The shop tells me -1 degree is within factory spec, but when I eye ball the car from the rear they still seem too negative.

You dont want to stand-up that rear wheel any more than it is. That shop is correct the factory rear camber spec = Standard value: − 1°00’ ± 0°30’

Our eyeballs are nowhere near as accurate as a properly calibrated machine
