Wheel Width/size/offset Compared To Camber

[GotsWapan]

I recently got rear upper camber arms installed on my R33 and I told them to adjust it to 0 degrees camber as it was going to be a street/drag car. But now I have alot of scrubbing problems with my 19x9.5 +38's and my 17x9 +26's? What do people do to combat this but also keep a nice wide contact patch. I will need to get the guards rolled and pushed out if possible but what else can be done?

Thanks

0.5 - 1 degree is still desirable on a street car regardless

your tyre sizes are also important to know for this kind of thing as well

[GotsWapan]

The 19's have 265, 30's on them and the 17s have 235, 45's.

Hmm I see

[GotsWapan]

What amount of camber comes standard with R33's?

sounds like the offset of your wheels is wrong, pushing wheels too far out from the hub

new wheels or as you say rolled / pumped guards or -ve camber

although that offset doesn't sound too wrong...

i have 18x9.5 +38 on the rear of my r34 with 265/35/18 tyres and yes they scrub and i have a tad less than 1 degree camber on the rear

your choices are:

-go a smaller tyres size

-dial in more camber

-roll the lip of the guards

im yet to get my rolled so i have lifted the rear a tad so it doesnt scrub much, but ultimately i am going to get the guards rolled

[GotsWapan]

Yeah the offset is right, its only because of zero degree camber.

I plan on getting the guards rolled, putting probably 0.8 degress of camber in, maybe. Might even get harder springs

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

is it a drag car?

if so you don't want 19's, and you certainly dont want harder springs to stop scrubbing

[GotsWapan]

Its street driven "enthusiasts" car haha. I have 17's I'm buy drag radials for

[mystery_kid]

I'm running about 0.8 degree of camber and it scrubs, you would bee like 2 degrees to fix it

Get the guards rolled, it is easy to do or get done and ou can't tell it has been done

[GotsWapan]

I plan on getting the guards done soon.

How much camber can these cars have before un-even tyre wear becomes visible?

[GotsWapan]

bump, no camber references for me?

[KiwiRS4T]

I'm running 3deg neg camber front and rear for the slicks (castor at 5 deg) and so far it doesn't appear to be affecting the street tyres adversely (on my awd Stagea) .

Toe in probably has more to so with "scrubbing". I have zero rear and zero to 2mm toe out front. What's yours?

And as above hard suspension will make both tyre wear and handling worse.

[GotsWapan]

Thanks, Kiwi!

.2mm toe in all around I believe with factory castor and zero camber all around. Need to adjust that.
