How much of a drop are you on?? What size tires? Do they rub like this? I'm thinking about doing a similar setup...18x9 +30 all the way around.

Updated Pics!
18x9 +30 in front -1.7 Camber
18x9+15 in the rears -4.9 Camber












Before the camber was put in front. I almost killed my fenders though. lol

keep your toe to 0 all round, and rotate every 3000 miles and you'll be cool as long as you don't do 100% hwy driving.

if its above 1 degree it will cause tire wear....now ur runnin -2.5 to -3 you wont necessarily run through tires fast but your gona notice tire wear within 2 to 3 months it also depends on how hard you drive your car......

camber does not kill tires, camber wears it unevenly.

yeah rotation is big and that toe must be 0 because toe will feather the crap out of your tires fast
