I got a little camber in the front . Rear has solid axle . You are absolutely correct on the toe in and out ruining tires . The alignment is key ! Bad alignment means sawed tires lol

I think this is a pretty interesting topic. I myself am the owner of SMP Automotive and deal with a ton of different cars and styles every single day. One of my personal cars is a bagged IS300 on Wed Kranze Bazreias. The wheels are 18x10.5 +22 and 18x11.5 +16 all fitting under stock body. It was definitely a quite a bit of work to get the car with close to matching camber front to rear, building to wheels to suit the desired camber angles, to clear the bigger Supra TT brake calipers, and to buy the correct suspension parts so everything works in unison. My car drives like a dream, even with the excessive camber (-8/-10 at ride height), but only because I took the time to do everything right the first go around. Before the suspension rebuild, I knew the car had an issue with bump steer (when I was static) so I made sure to buy RCA spacers to correct this problem. I also used JZX100 front upper control arms, which is great for easy camber, until you realize the AirLift bag bellows are so large that they rub the spindle and inside of the control arm. So to combat this issue, I had to purchase Serial9 strut offset hats (basically camber plates) to move the air strut into a position that it does rub against anything. In the rear, I used TC Sportline upper control arms and to be able to set the toe in spec with excessive camber, Megan racing toe arms to get the alignment right. The car sat on jack stands for about about two weeks while I assembled, refreshed, and measure from hub to fender lip using the wheels (before rebuild) and spacers so that I could determine the size of the new lips I wanted to buy. The tires last for a relatively good amount of time seeing that this car is my daily driver besides my Evo 9. I put roughly 10k miles on the Lexus a year with this setup and its been treating me fine so far. The biggest thing I want people to take from this is a proper setup takes a bit of time, research, and thinking power for it to work in your favor. Some of the cars you see like T-Demand have tons of hours, thought, and thousands of dollars worth of suspension components so that the cars can achieve aggressive ride heights, wheel fitment, and drive quality. Take your time, do it right the first time, and enjoy your slanty wheel machine! Check out my Lexus and give me a follow on IG @Ace_OnBase and find me on Facebook at Malik Mebane or SMP Automotive!

This guy is mad knowledgeable on fitment and car mods. Great presentation

Wanna see if your camber setup is ideal for your driving situation? Get a pyrometer (an infrared thermometer that can pick a spot less than 20 mm will do) and measure across the surface of the tread in three parts: inner edge, middle, outer edge. If the temperatures are within roughly 1* C (around 2* F) of each other then you're set. If one tire is excessively hotter or colder than its counterpart, then there's a load imbalance with the circuit/track that was just run (think NETCAR/Roundy-Round) relative to the alignment, or excessive toe applied to a wheel that's now dragging the tire along. Static camber at -2* is very helpful once you've run through the suspension kinematics, and then take into account how much the lower control arm mounts "roll" when the body shell leans through a corner. Basically, the chassis roll pulls the lower control inward on the outer wheel, and adds overall camber to that side. If you end up rolling enough to "add" 4* of camber to the outside wheel, your -2* static starting point is to get you closer to vertical as the lower control arm compresses to compensate during that roll. Hopefully, you end up around +1* (yep, positive) to work the outside edge of the tire with the aggressive shoulder blocks if it's a correct tire for the application. If it's an all season tire, those will usually dissolve after 8 good runs on asphalt and 3 runs on grooved concrete. That's why running -2* static camber on aggressively driven street cars with so-so camber control makes all season tires last so long. Of course if you slam the piss out of it and bring the control arms beyond horizontal, that's a whole other kinematics mess you're creating for yourself and everyone that's forced to share the road with you.

When purchasing an alignment/camber kit, purchase the entire kit. Some kits are purchased as either a one, two, or three piece kits. The more adjustments that can be made the more "dialed in" the suspension components are going to be. I have -3.0 degrees of camber on my Honda Accord Coupe with 275/35/19 tires on Advan RZII 19x10.0 et 35. The tires have already 35,000 miles on them. The tread wear, for the most, is even. My toe is set exactly to 0 degrees. It's true, camber (not insane camber) doesn't eat tire, it's toe. How do you get 0 degrees of toe on -3.0 degrees? By buying a complete camber kit. For me, it was a 3-piece kit for each side in the rear for the 2017 Accord. DON'T GO CHEAP. EITHER WAY, IF YOU DO, YOU WILL PAY FOR IT BY HAVING TO BUY MORE TIRES, ALIGNMENTS, AND DODGY CAR PARTS. Matter of fact, when purchasing rims, check to see if a camber kit is available for your car. I was quite surprised to find out that Honda Accords don't have a front camber kit! Camber can also be a life saver in making a tire fit while providing a compliant ride. I hate to say this, from my own personal experience, I never recommend going to dealership. However, dealerships, at times, have better alignment machinery than a run of the mill tire shop. Don't be cheap. Here in New Orleans there aren't a lot of high performance shops.

Lol! Mumble rap? Nailed it!

I’d like to see a video on how excessive camber on the front axle benefits angle and grip at full lock for drifting and how angle kits with lower control arms push out the bottom of the wheel for more camber and angle vs. upper control arms that pull in the top of the wheel for camber which is usually for looks mostly. And why “drift car” setups are usually 0 camber in rear axle if not even a little bit positive camber while the front axle is upwards of -9 and why drift cars do that. Also bring to point that pretty much all Formula Drift cars are running a massive amount of camber in front.
