Do you need a rear camber kit to go negative camber? Reason why I ask is cause my rear is pretty wide and hits the fenders sometimes. Fenders have already been shaved


Rear is size 19x10 +27 offset
tire is 245/35/19

I have the Megan rear camber arms and that's what I used to get my negative camber.

If you pull the fender instead of shave you won't need a camber kit.

This is true, but he only has 10" wide wheels.. it will be much cheaper to just buy the camber kit and go a degree negative.. I have 11" wide wheels and I need to install my camber kit even with the quarters pulled 1"

Why would you need a camber kit for that setup? I'm running 19x10.5 +24 with 265/30/19 in the rear and I only have minimal rubbing. Just go lower and it will camber more.

So you're saying there is enough stock adjustments to get a lot of camber? I thought I needed some rear camber arms but if stock suspension allows up to 8 degrees, that would be plenty.

May I ask what you did to your fenders?

The oem camber arm isn't adjustable. I just installed the megans today and its just bairly shorter all the way negative then the oem so it doesn't offer toooo much more negative camber. What they are talking about is having a smaller wheel you can go lower, by going lower you get natural negative camber. Those must be 18's? in the picture? If not then I don't know what the hell he did lol
