No offense taken, but for front camber most change the upper arm which pulls the top in but with what I am going to use it basically extends the lower arm and with the suspension pivot points it barely moves the top. Did the same thing in the rear and even with all my camber it didn't really help at all with fender clearance..

I was going to respond but you beat me to it. I found some pics before I left out of town of the new wheels. I still need 20mm spacers in the back to put it where I want.
Front stretch 225/40/18 on 10.5+17

the better way to do it is actual fender work..."devil camber" looks retarded imo....like no effort was made to make it look right.

he has actual fender work, and the flare/pull looks proper, the amount of camber he is running, and what i plan on running, is quite a bit a ways from -20* or more of camber which is dumb.

Each is his own on the look they like and I have fender work done along with the "devil camber" since that is my current taste.

I have never seen your car. I was simply commenting on "Devil Camber"...you do know what that is right? Its a style they call in Japan....where you have 25% contact patch...looks retarded.
