just wanted to let yall know that it wasnt just the tires he changed, it was the size in rim also.

Slimsta Jimsta

yea.. but still.. the tires were changed, and that's the outer part..

and the size of the tires doesn't even matter with camber problems

Mr2sLoW

Well then i guess it didnt have anything to do with the wheels. But that man still needs a alignment.

publicenemy137

if it pulls a certain way or if the car does not drive straight when the steering wheel is straight, then he needs an alignment. Simple as that, if it doesn't pull anywhere or if the steering wheel is straight, he doesn't need an alignment. Or if he does have mad negative camber then he'll need an alignment also

negative camber is jdm bling man...if it was up to me, i'd have my wheels like the back to the future car

A good rule of thumb is to check your alignment everytime you replace tires. Most tire shops check for free when they do the tire install. Ask to see the spec printout on how ur car is compared to the manufacturer specs they have. If its way off from the manufacturer specs, then get the alignment. If its in the specs, then no need for the alignment.

Getting an alignment is mandatory if you are modifying the suspension in anyway (lifting/lowering the vehicle, swapping ball joints/other critical suspension parts excluding shocks).

it shouldnt be needed unless u did suspension work. if the camber is changed when all u did was get rims, then ur fucked....

What kind of car do you drive? Most of the cheaper imports don't have camber adj. from the factory.

I agree with ur statement but I have something to add to it...potholes and severe bumps can mess your alignment up w/o breaking suspension parts, so even if u have stock suspension that is in good working order, ur alignment can still be off.

I agree w. this man. if it aint broke dont fix it. Your alignment will not change w. tire/wheel size. the only things that would change would b your spedometer and the scrub radius of the tire. The scrub radius is an angle in relation to you strut thats in relation to the stock wheel/tire. You cant adjust the scrub radius but its not a wear angle, so its np. Toe and camber are you wear angles. And caster it the tilt of the strut foward and backwards.
About -1.7 deg. of camber works wonders for the handling in my car. i would suggest trying to get it your camber a lil negative if your not to worried about tire wear.
