So, here is my set up.....

BC Racing coilovers
BMW 7 series style 95's
235/30/19 rear, 225/30/19 front
neg 3,75 camber all around

Blew a tire tonight because of camber.....less than 6k miles.

Toe is proper (between 0.29 and .40ish). Is there a way to keep running this camber with out having to go through tires so often?

If not, going to get different spacer/adapters and put the camber correct or at least not neg 4 deg's.


Any thoughts?


thanks

toe should be closer to zero (you'll get a little more camber)

camber sounds right for style 95's though, how low are you?

No, that amount of camber isnt that bad. I'm running -6.2 and haven't had a problem. Your toe is pretty off, mine is near 0.

Blowing up a tire can be from
low air pressure
old tire
bad seal
pothole

Pretty low.....

Unsure how low, but low....

I am thinking of getting 15mm spacer/adapters (running 1 inch right now) and get proper camber.....


Unless there is a magical device I can use to keep the camber but not run through tires after a month....

Pics of your set up?

Could it be me using 1 inch spacer/adapters?

Not the most recent picture, but the same tires and haven't had a problem since.

19x9.5 +5 225/35
19x 10.5 +5 245/35 -6.2 camber and maybe 0.02-4 toe.

Ok. So my shop said that I am max toe. So what is the cheapest way to get that half degree extra of toe?


thanks

Toe arms, megans or studio.

Studio>megans though.

I'm using studio RUCA and toe arms

My shop found some, forgot the brand, something Motorsports? But not Megan. They are 100 for both rears. Charging half hour install. Then take it up to the alignment shop. Hope I do not have to replace tires in a month.....UGH.....

topspeed motorsports or something................ i think the megans are a rebranded version of those.

I verified today. Godspeed Motorsports.


These should work for now. Next year its all brand new hardware , most likely fig's or Ikeya formula.

Cheap out now, may have the replace them again later down the road

SSxblazer

I will be replacing it with better very soon. Maybe 3-4 months. I am sure they will hold until then.



I hope this fixes it!!!! Once they come in and are installed I will post my alignment results.
