Hey guys,

One question. How much camber can all wheel drive have before it tears up the tires? At the moment, i set my front to a tick and a half.. Just wondering if i could go more is it bad for awd to have alot of camber?

Cheers,
Sean

I personally wouldn't go over 1 or maybe 2 degrees... Keep in mind your handling will be affected by changing the camber.

For the better

If you run enough camber you can wear through the sidewall instead, then switch sides on the tyres and you pretty much double your mileage

For example...



But in all seriousness it depends on what sort of driving you do, around the track I noticed I shredded the outside of my tyres up to the point where chunks were missing... That was running 1.5 degrees all round.

^ LOL at the pic

just daily driving... want the camber for aesthetics/ looks. So you reckon 1.5 degrees is okay? Dont want to wear out my tires too quickly as im just a student without a job

Got any pics of your setup?

ill see if i can get some pics tmrw.. thanks for the help anyways

At least you don't have to worry about scraping your rim on the gutter.

That thing would corner like a boss, who needs strut braces and under body braces. fuck, you can roll it on its side and it'll actually GAIN MORE grip!

2.5deg is fairly standard if you have the spring rate and tyre grip for it.

As much as you can without losing straight line braking or having the rears trigger abs before the front is my motto.

I had 2.5 for my track day, but didn't have the tyres for it haha

I would keep under about -1.5 deg for daily street use.

Im running -1.5 on my GenIII and its starting to show classic camber wear on the tyres. At least I have directional tyres so I can flip them on the rims. If you are running asymmetric tyres, then you need to replace them when the inside edge is gone.

Also ran -1.5 on my Ford (over there >>) and the same rules applied.

Yeah I'll probably leave it at about -1.5 deg and change them around when the insides are wore out.

Thanks for the advice
