Hey guys this is my current alignment. My front is a little bit lower than my rear, I'm fixing that today. But does anybody know why my front camber is a -4.2? My setup is 18x10.5 245/40 all the way around. I'm running +15 up front and -5 in the rear. I was going to buy spacers for the front because they look a little sunk in at the moment. But what I don't understand is why my camber is crazy up front? I searched this whole thread and found people with more aggressive front setups with less camber WITHOUT having adjustable A arms. I do understand however that when you lower the car camber is increased blah blah blah, but this much?

My only question is really what should be my next purchase? Spacers for the fronts, or adjustable A arms?

Car for reference best profile shot I have:

^it's definitely just because your rear is higher than the front. if you get it level it will have more rear camber. but personally, i think having more front camber than rear looks great. running tons of rear camber looks silly.

I don't get where I'm failing. I couldn't fit 19x10.5 -15 rear on my car with 245/35 FK452's. Fender just sat on the tire and they are fully shaved and pulled, and my rear camber is at -7 degrees.

That doesn't sound anywhere close to possible... That's not very aggressive plus -7camber it a lot.. So either you camber is wrong, your offsets are wrong or both. But I'm running a 18x12 -6 with neg3 camber and before that a 11.5 -25 with -4camber... Something don't add up on your car.

I know, I don't get it. My car isn't even as low as a lot of the dudes I see on here. This is the only pic I have. The fenders aren't pulled as much as some, but the inners are completely gone and we started to pull until I realized it was going to look horrible.

Haha I know. They were Varrstoen's, so they definitely don't come in x12, and they were 0 offset + a 15mm spacer. It's really making me nervous with buying new wheels, because if that didn't fit, what I want definitely won't.

I wish I could, but the wheels are gone and I'm sorry the pic sucks, but it's all I have.

Yes, I'm sure, -7 on each side.

I don't have a problem pulling, but I just don't understand how what I had didn't fit.

Because something in your setup was out-of-wack. You can sit here all day and say everything was perfect, but there was obviously a problem somewhere. Possibly you bought used spacers and were told the wrong size? You aren't providing much information aside from "this is the size, everything is perfect". Like Tehk and others have said, it doesn't add up, people have ran more aggressive setups with no problems on a slight pull.
