I just got my Volk SF Challenges and I put them on the other day and the rears of course rubbed the outside fender. I had them rolled and now the clearance is fine, but my question is that if I adjust the camber b/c the bottom of my rear wheels sticks out is that gonna make the top of the wheel rub again? I am a newbie when it comes to suspension! Thanks!!!


Oh yeah by the way the specs are

19x8.5 +21 FRONT....with 245/35 BFG g-Force Tires
18x10.5 +23 REAR.....with 285/35 BFG g-Force Tires

 

-3 camber it in the rear and call it a day

 

First you need to put it on an alignment rack, and see if the camber needs to be adjusted. No one can give you any information until you can provide us with the current camber setting. What is your ride height? Is it lowered?

19" front 18"s rear? N E ways...hate to change subject but how did you mount your JL twelves?

 

Sorry guys, I meant
19x10.5 +23 REAR.....with 285/35 BFG g-Force Tires

 

I had them in a box that I made kinda like the ones that used to be on eBay...but I made my own to where they where pointing towards the front roof area. I recently just gave my car to my local audio shop and they are building a custom fiberglass "Ported" box that fills the whole rear storage area.

 

if you get more negative camber in the rear the top of the tire will be even farther from the fender. if you go more positive camber you will be closer to the fender. see what your at now first.

 

How does -3 camber in the rear affect handling? is to much negative camber a problem after a certain point? and what is that point? i am running -2.5 in the rear and feel as if my car handles great on my eibachs but wondering if i should get rear camber arms and bring it up to -2 or maybe even -1.7........

 

Im used to always be adjusting my coilovers. Ive had as bad as negative 4.2 degrees camber, to 3.2 to 2.7, now Im at 2.1 in the rear. IMO for dail driving rear tires over -2.5 camber is bad, my tires last me like 10K miles. At 4.2 degrees I killed my Goodyear F1's in 4000 miles! I really feel like right around 2 degrees negative camber handles great. My front tires are at 2 degrees also, and the last set lasted me 25K miles (S03's) which have a soft 220iirc treadwear rating. So now with my 300 treadwear BFG's Id be happy to get 20L out of them.....
