Wondering about camber and hellaflush
 

Ok I have a question....when people have tons of negative camber to look cool (the guys you all like to make fun of) how do they not wear the insides of tires bald in a few thousand miles, or even sooner I would think. Or do they wear like that and people are just willing to deal with it? I really cant think of a reason why they wouldnt wear on the inside.

They wear out the inside edge....sometimes so bad the outside still has the rubber nipples still on em



This is why you rarely ever see quality tires on a herrafrush vehicle

they will always wear on the inside with negative camber unless you run CAMBERED TIRES, which are very expensive...



that being said just swapping wheel/tire combo to a different size or offset CAN wear the shoulders of your tires.changing camber carefully might help with different wheel/tire, but changing wheel size and or offset is messing with effective spring rate via the steering axis inclination.



if your camber specs dont match the cambered tires they will wear, because its not flat on the ground anymore.

I have them swap my tires every 6,000 miles. I'm running -2.8 camber currently.



If you drive it hard enough, the camber corrects itself ;)

That first picture was great, mang. +1 to that.





Cambered tires? There are tires with differing sidewall stiffnesses to get camber thrust, but unless they are strangely conical in construction, I don't see them fixing the tyre wear problem at all.

they are conical in construction

Oh... wow.





Why add negative camber, then install positively cambered tires?? Holy sh*t kids, camber bolts aren't expensive. :fp:

I used OEM camber bolts, they come with the RSpec model. They're only required for the front and if you're going more than -1, which I'm not. Rear requires no camber bolts.

you dont add positively cambered tires



you add neg camber tires



basically you set your suspension to -1 or some sh*t, add -2 tires and you end up with -3 degrees of camber with tires that wear somewhat evenly cuz of conical construction



better than rocking -3 degrees of suspension camber and normal tires
