Default Allignment sheet

so i just got an allignment done after i put on my gf210 springs. im running 9.5f 10.5r 19 inch wheels with +12 offset all around. just wondering if all this looks semi normal, not running a rear or front camber kit either all stock still.

front left: spec range:
camber- (actual -1.6) (before -1.6) -1.3 to 0.2
caster- (actual 8.9) (before 8.9) 7.4 to 8.9
toe- (actual 0.05) (before 0.07) 0.00 to 0.10

front right:
camber- (actual -1.8) (before -1.8) " "
caster- (actual 8.8) (before 8.8)
toe (actual 0.06) (before 0.08)

rear left:
camber- (actual -2.2) (before -2.4) -2.1 to -1.1
toe- (actual 0.09) (before 0.05) 0.06 to 0.14

rear right:
camber- (actual - 2.2) (before -2.6)
toe- (actual 0.09) (before 0.19) " "

camber is maxed out he says, and yah just seeing if that looks right there are some more numbers here on this sheet but i dont have a scanner and they are all in range anyways. so i notice the front left and front right camber is off by .2 is that a big deal? and this is as close to spec as possible they said

Have another alignment done in about 2 weeks those numbers will still change. But you need rear cambers from the look of it possibly front cambers as well.

it doesn't matter if the camber is off a little from left to right... but your camber is out of spec all the way around... is it a problem? how often do you want to change tires?

i cant make the camber to be positive anymore in the rear or i will probably rubb. its cutting it damn close right now. the fronts can probably be more positive just require aftermarket camber arm. with the front im only .1 which is nothing away from spec range. so the rears are fine i guess, only front is possible

looking at the spec, it seems a lot like mine.
it is not off by a great measure and as long as you do regular tire rotations, you should be fine <imo >

what i am planning to do is after 3 or 4k miles,
take it to the alignment shop and rotate tires + re-align.
most of the shops will do tire rotations for real cheap or free with alignment if you ask.

they will still charge the alignment unless you went to firestone lifetime align or similar. (then again, firestone never gets it right --a so kinda pointless imo unless you plan to change setup often enough).

Nah but if I were you I would invest on some camber front and rear arms unless you want to keep rotating ur tires or keep replacing them IMHO

well the front is only .1 off of spec and i cant really go anymore cause of my low offset or it will rub the fender. so the only thing i can do is correct the front a bit more. with front camber kit

The in spec range is not the ideal range which is normal or nominal point.
In spec can cause serious tire wear!

Are your fender's rolled? Optimal specs are usually right in the middle of the range, which you are quite far from
