Default Non Lowered Z Camber Adjust ?

My 2004 Roadster is not lowered but does have big wheels on it.
275/30 ZR20 (97Y) on the rear. She definitely has negative camber.
Here are my questions and I apologize if this is on the forumn but I searched and everything seems to relate to lowered cars.

If I am buying a kit do I need one with toe adjustment if not lowered?
If toe adjustment is not necessary is it a good idea to get the toe adjustment anyway?

I don't go to the track - just a cruiser so any suggestions on a good kit as long as I don't need to be able to adjust after alignment.

I just ordered new PZero Nero's and would liek to get a little more life out of this pair.

Again - I apologize if I am asking a question that has been answered already.

Normally when you order camber arms for the rear, they already come with toe bolts. If you're not lowered, you 'should' not need the toe bolts to get you back into spec, but anything is possible. Technically, when you change the wheel width, your alignment will also change with it but it shouldn't make that much of a different such that you can't get back into factory spec. I would just order the camber arms with toe bolts and install them if you can't get back into spec.

Ziggy is right, you need the toe bolts and camber arms...

your wheel diameter, width, etc wont let the factory eccentric washers get you into spec. Ive seen it first hand....

for the rear buy the rear camber arms and spc or similar 3 degree toe bolts and that will fix the rear..

for the front - you would need to buy front upper control arms.

yes, this thread i link talks about lowered cars, but your car still follows the same ideals when making adjustments, etc so re-read it if you havent already on whats needed:
