Default Help!!!!!

i've got all these problems from modding my car. If i knew all this **** was gonna happen, i wouldnt have put half the stuff on my car. My major problem now is the alignment... no shop around town can align my wheel properly because of the shape of the rim... the out rim of the rim isn't flat so the alignment machine cant attach to it properly and i've been denied by every single garage in town almost. All while my tires are gettin blad form the postive camber.... my question is, seeing how it's postive cant i jus drop the car a little which will make the camber negative and jus pray to god that there's a balance in the middle??? What can i do?? i've tired eveything else and i looks like i'm jus basically screwed.

Exactly, you might have to drive an hour or so to find the shop, but there are plenty out there. Race shops and some rice shops (that specialize in wheels) can do the alignment for you.

Its very odd that you have positive camber- usually its the other way around. Have you tried just manually adjusting the camber on the car so its not as visually bad (to save your tires), then find a shop to get it exact.

Droping the car and manually adjusting the camber are band-aids only. Try to hunt down a reputable shop; if not, but a suspension book and adjust the camber yourself. Its easy, but will take a few hours with a plumb line. Good luck.
