Default Does Spacer help prevent camber wear?

Do u think the 20mm spacer help the tire prevent camber wear? In my mind, the spacer is thicker and the rims will stick out more.. I ordered the TEIN SS and planning to lower the car.. What if I adjust the height up and down and do I have to take my car to the wheel shop do the alignment again and again.. I need help for someone have experience with spacer.. I have experience lower on HOnda and I never take my ex car for alignment.. Give me some comments..

no. the angle with which the wheel sits in relationship to the strut or control arm does not change with a spacer.

True... I was thinking about this is not part of camber wear but I thought the wheel push out and it wont touch inner fender.. Oh well

oh, if it's rubbing inside on bumps/holes or full lock, it will definitely help alleviate some of the tire rubbing on the inside of the fender well. if it's rubbing on the outside of the fender well, u'll probably make it worse. u could try different offset wheels..

the spacer might make you rub on the other side of the fender... but alignment is always a good thing for the lifespan of your tires. and if you have camber, make sure you get them rotated so that you dont eat up all one side and waste the other side tread
