You should get an alignment before you put on your new tires and rims, to save your new tires from getting camber wear.

Post by: tipover on February 20, 2007, 04:05:07 PM: I would put the tires on just before the alignment as different offset of the new tires will change the camber. it changes it because of the difference in leverage on the A arm. when I put lafger tires on the, half the camber issue was eliminated and it slightly changed the height. the camber change about .5 degrees with the larger tires. Just my experience.

Wider tires act like different offset to a degree, so yeah, tire size can affect camber a little.. but mostly wheel offset.

Post by: Armour on February 25, 2007, 01:22:51 PM: Tire size or offset should not effect camber. It may put more stress on stuff but shouldn.t really effect things like angles

Post by: tipover on February 25, 2007, 04:23:54 PM: If you take the tire off and bolt a spacer 10 feet long with a tire on the end, it will set at a different height do to the leverage on the spring.

If that doesn't help, Sorry I can't help you.
