well there is your problem right there..
your running 17"s on an EG and when you changed from factory 14" to 17"s your didn't change your camber kit. thats why ppl have problems when they go from a 14" to a 17"
17" are massive.. I think it looks so much better when ppl run a 15" and 1' to 2' inch drop.. Now that a clean EG, none of these massive wheels shit..
but thats just my opinion......

Looks hardly have anything to do with it.
Noone gives a shit about what you like tbh.

The ****ed up camber is because your stock camber arms arnt adjustable and as the car gets lowered it naturally makes camber.

There is ghetto ways to fix this with washers as spacers, look into it if you're interested be tbh i'm not going to be responsible for your car.

No but ppl who have 15" usually dont get camber problems. Oh and i did say thats my opinion..

If you buy new tyres every 6 months, then you're worse off after the first 12 months. Unless you don't plan to keep the car.

Get correct camber kits of a reputable brand off ebay and save $$$

While I tend to be on your side about the foolishness of huge wheels (and the rubber bands people stretch around them...), you're absolutely wrong about wheel size having any affect whatsoever on camber angles.

[JohnL]

It is possible to adjust camber by 'slotting' the chassis mounting holes in the upper wishbone. You do need to know just how much slotting will be required, which can be determined by knowing the distance between the centres of the balls of the upper and lower ball joints.

Using this method I've corrected unequal camber on my CB7 (previous owner's accident damage I think), and it's worked very well. If you can measure the distance between the upper and lower ball joints (ball centre to ball centre as best as you can estimate the centre locations) and post them, I can do a drawing to figure out how much slotting will be required to make a 0.93° change (as you need).

too much toe out on the front,
too much negative camber on the front.
rear is still not bad but really bad offset from each side for camber and toe.

need camber kit or you will be going through rubbers like no 2moro.
As stated by others, for an EG i would max go a 16" and get a decent dump on it.

You're reading the initial measurement. The final measurement column on the right shows his toe has been corrected but camber can't be adjusted and is still unequal and out of spec.

I am usually not an advocate of camber adjustment with limited amounts of lowering but that camber is too uneven. Has the car been crashed before? You should be able to get camber adjustment parts and install them yourself for less than what that shop quoted you. Then take it to a decent alignment workshop that will do whatever settings you desire. If you are concerned about tyre wear run close to zero toe.

Suspension geometry doesn't care about your ill informed opinion. Wheel size has no effect on camber.

[IndoStyler]

damn, camber is so uneven...u got more negative camber on the right side....toe looks alright now....best to get camber kit no matter wat size rim u have or will change to in the future

[4age8u]

so camber kit is the way to go? what if i leave it like this? will it eat my tires like crap?
