you always had that camber in the back, but now that you have wider tires, it's more pronounced... nothing to worry about


what wheels are those? hard to get a good look in the tiny pic, but they look good from what I can see...

negative camber is when your wheels slant inwards. It usually happens when you lower your car. Negative camber can cause quicker wear on the inside of your tires...

its when the top of the wheel tilts in and the bottom tilts out.

neutral camber

positive camber

Negative camber will give you better cornering ability, since the car leans to the outside in a turn, but wears faster than neutral.
