what is a "reasonable" amount of negative camber?
Hope you guys can help me out a little.....and it isn't even a Z related issue (sorry!)
Just replaced my Toyos with Goodyear Eagle F1's on my CLK 500 and now the rears are rubbing.
Got the fenders rolled yesterday and it didn't help (the fenders are already factory rolled, so there wasn't much to work with)
Anyway, my current rear camber is -1.45 with a recommended "target" of 1.18 (+/-0.3).
My question is, what would be a "reasonable" camber to try to eliminate the rubbing but not eat up the tire. I'm thinking -2.5. Any thoughts from you tire gurus out there would be greatly appreciated.

I had 285/35/19 on my 10.5" +17 offset rear wheels with a -2.5 camber and it wore out my rear tires in about 9000 miles. So, I don't know if you can use that as a reference given different cars, driving styles, conditions, etc...
rather than trying to correct it with more camber (which then throws toe out of spec too), I'd recommend visiting a body shop in the area and have the rears pulled slightly
