Your before and actual readings are identical and I'm assuming that's the case because when you installed the arms, you installed them at their shortest length, correct? That said, I wonder just how much extra camber you were able to achieve with these arms since there are no 'true' before readings.

Additionally, I personally do not want more negative camber. I want more positive camber to place it within spec to save my tires! That said, the question is still unknown if just getting one arm will suffice in that case. I'm with Mike...I still don't see how it's possible to get away with just one. I'm hopeful that's the case but just doubtful.

Thanks for the update!

yes I installed it at the shortest length. I have the true before readings as well in my car I believe because I hit the alignment shop after I installed these wheels. Trust me there is a different because my wheels were poking like I should have Rodriguez in old english on my back windows...

Hmm...that's interesting. If you can get more negative, then you should also be able to get more positive. Maybe I'll give it a shot. Which vendor is selling these on CL right now and do you know the cost?

Thanks again for sharing.

Not at all I'm also going to add positive camber to my car so it will be interesting to see how much I can correct with the three arms. I wish we were doing the same so we could see what the one arm does compared to both.

Im all for sharing and find new ways to push the limits

Team SNS I think is what the are called But anyone that carries them they are all the same. Try eBay to see if you can find a good deal

disc type makes zero difference.

10.5+20 = 11+26 outboard wise, so his wheels are 6mm more inset than yours already. moreover, 285 is wider than your 265, but keep in mind he is 25 profile (25.6") and yours is 30 (26.3"). your overall diameter is quite a bit larger and that is a big key to rubbing. you should be rubbing first at where the bumper and fender meet, and smaller overall diameter will help quite a bit

Yeah...that's what I tho too, disc type does not change the offset. Thanks Henry!
