naw you also have camber plate next to your tire. its like a U shape, that helps the camber adjustment to a negative or a positive.

but yes that camber plate on your coilover also helps your adjustment out too.

actually, it makes a huge difference in the handling of your car.

What do you mean by camber plates next to the tire? lol.

OP - Are you looking to run 0 camber? And the tire size all depends on what you like. Meaty tires or stretched tires. Touge's running some real meaty 235/40's if im not mistaken. I'd personally run some 205/40's but that's just me .

i believe you have to adjust your lower and upper control arms to get a better camber offset
