Default Factory / stock camber adjustment for tears (PICS)

I'm looking to achieve more negative camber in the rear to fit my 19x11 +25's. We adjusted the factory bolt on the stock lower arm to max negative camber (turned full counter clockwise) and I still need about 5-10mm (1-2 degrees) to clear. Rear fenders were also cut and shaved.





I've read on here of people running -4, -5, and someone even thinks they are running -8, on factory arms! Based on the measurement ring, I believe I'm at about -3.5/-4 camber. Are we missing another adjustment somewhere?

ATM, I'm trying to avoid having to buy aftermarket RUCAs since I'm tight on cash.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.


And since I know you guys are wondering:

I maxed camber as well. I think max camber on stock is like 5 or 5.5

I was doing 19x10 +5. i shaved it more than you did, pretty much paper thin, still rubbing the lip of the rim..

I think for you, you should just get a rear RCA, those let you adjust camber as well, or pull

I always get confused about this with our cars:

When you mention RCA are you referring to the "roll center adapter" or "rear control arm" (or rear upper control arm)?

I still have to get used to the term RCA since I've never had to use it in my other 10 cars, and if I did it was in reference to suspension arms. Also, I feel like -5 should be enough neg camber for a setup that isn't very aggressive. I'm just wondering if I'm truly maxed out or if my camber adjustment is "seized."

Also, just looking at my car it doesn't look maxed out at -5 at all...

Change the rear tire to a 245/35 And you'll be fine

This is exactly what I'm doing after these 255's are done.
