Every 2IS owner experiencing inside edge wear had toe well within Lexus spec. It doesn't mean it is good for wear issues.

Yeah I have read those threads. I actually had the alignment shop use the specs you posted in the alignment thread instead of the stock Lexus specs. I guess I'm just trying to figure out if I need to worry about my camber or if I will be fine. I don't want to spend more money on new control arms or ball joints if I don't need to. I guess time will tell... Ha

Thanks!

Default Swift lowered with a 235-265 tire combo...

After speaking with several CL members running Swift springs (either from and rear or front only), there was some discussion regarding the use of Michelin PSS in 235/40 for the front and 265/35 for the rear on an OEM wheel, either the early or late styles, either with or without spacers.

This in an effort to preserve ride quality, as opposed to the popular 245/35-275/30 combo, which in all probability negatively impacts ride quality, even if ever so slightly. The 235-265's are approximately .300 taller than the OEM 225-255's, with the 245-275's being approximately .300 shorter.

Anyone running the combo as described above?

Search the forums, info. is everywhere. Generally, it appears negative camber up to 2.0* is acceptable as long as the toe is addressed. Search for info. on factory alignment and rear LCA bushing flex under hard braking.
