HAHAHAHA. Some people need to get out more.

I honestly dont think an extra thread needed to be made about the car. I'm pretty sure plenty of people voiced their opinion in the stance/fitment thread. I personally think its way too much but who cares its not like you have to drive the damn thing.

No, but if we have to drive next to it and he loses control because that idiot only has 2 cumulative inches of rubber on the ground, I would probably be a bit concerned.

With that much camber I'd be worried about more than just the tire.

Yeah cause I bet he rips it around corners. I really think you should worry about crashing your car because you were'nt paying attention to the road from staring at it/worrying about it.

It gets a pretty sketchy driving around with that much camber, even in a straight line. If it started raining your asking for instant wreckage. Also the wheel bearings would be shot with in a month or so, they cant take that kind of side load.

In all seriousness, driving around with negative camber like that car is a really really stupid idea.

I'm aware. I'm not saying he's right or it looks good. Just saying that you have a better chance of being hit by some geriatric fuck in a gran marquis than having a wheel blow off at you or a ruca snap.

How much is too much? I didn't know there were varying degrees of incorrect when it comes to wheels that either fit or don't.

My rear wheels didnt fit at first but they do now...

Not everything fits, you have to modify accordingly. You should know that since your "old school." Thats how hot rodding got started (general reference). Some people choose one route while others go another.
