horrible positive camber on the back wheels..LC accent - Hyundai Performance Forums

I have 16x7 konig heliums wit a 42mm offset and sharkracing T&P coil-overs, love both of them and wld hate to get rid of them over this but the inside of my tires are rubbing on the perches of the coilovers...and they are already cambered positive and i cant get them in anymore without rubbing on the inside of the tires...

I use camber bolts for the top bolt of the coilovers...

my next idea is wheels spacers like 10 15mm??? what do u guys think???

or i gotta get 16x16.5" wheels but i cant find them anywhere?

I was also thinking the adjustable pillow ball mounts but i dont kno where to get them cause then i can adj. the wheel and coilovers' camber as a whole... i guess i would hafta contact sharkracing to see if they have them, but i wld guess they are mad expensive

Raise the car a bit. It did that on mine because I had the tires tucking. Either that, or go get an alignment.

Can you please confirm you really mean positive camber?

Camber angle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Out at the top in at the bottom is +ive camber. If thats the case I'm sure your car handles like ass... need either skinnier tires, wheel spacers, the right offset rims, different suspension.

If its -ive camber you can out a camber bolt in the bottom bolt as well but but do you really want to run THAT much camber? same sugestions as above

You want to have no more than -1 degree of camber on the rear. Getting it as close to 0 as possible to help with handling.

I have too much negative camber on my 07 Elantra and it handles like ass (the suspension is stock). I had to make an upper control arm to get the camber adjustable (the camber is non-adjustable on the cars).

I like running about -1 to -1.5 front camber and the rears almost 0 camber gives the front tons of bite....

Once I install the adjustable control arms, I'll have the same readings.

However, this person has wheels with an offset that is not what he needs. The tire is too close to the coil-over.
