-0.5 -1.0 rear chamber

Featured Replies

How would this rear chamber effect my tyre wear? any particular tyre pressure I should be using any particular tyre brand etc? I will be using Ronal LS 15'' 7.5j et25 probably with 195/45/15 federal or 185/45/15 nankangs. Any info welcomed thank you in advance.

Its all about the tow that wears your tyers, i just used washers was told 2 washers on the bottom left bolt on your hub and 1 washer on the bottom right and that works :)

That amount of camber will be ok providing you toe setting is okay

This will have a greatly varying effect depending on which side of the car you're talking about, I'm gonna guess this is for the right side?

Also the size of the washers would play a massive part in this. Personally I'd be a bit more precise if I was doing this to my own car.

You could all ways get a set of shims

Thats what I will be getting still not sure if I should go for -.5 or -1.0 also considering spacers at a later stage maybe 10m spacers.

consider the fact the car has camber already.

I fitted shims (-1.5) and ended up with 3 degrees and 9 minutes per side!

How lowered are you? 195/45 on the ronals would need arch work to go low really

Nothing is lowered yet mate I'm just planning out before I buy everything at once, I will go for 185 probably just the downside of that will be Nankangs not a fan of these tyres but no other brand in this size :(

I want to stay 45 in tyre height :paranoid: Just enquired about a set of 14'' 8j rear and 7j front wheels brand unknown so plans may change again LOL

But 175/50 gives the same radius as 195/45

45 would go on 15'' u got me worng there. I haven't even looked at the tyres for 14'' as I have just inquired about the 14''s.

if it was 15x 7 then do 165/45. or 15x8 do 185/45, Can do the 185/45 all round also.

and 14's, tyres are crap!. I'm running 155.55 and 165/55 on 7 and 8j.

15x7.5
