Need some help on tire/wheel camber. updated pics.

Just put my summer setup on yesterday..
Miro type 942
Front 18x9.5 et40 + 10mm Spacer. 235/40/18
Rear 18x9.5 et40 265/35/18
Ron @ **********s helped a lot on choosing wheel size and answered all my questions. Thank you!

Pics:




10mm spacer on rear??





Question:
1. I put 10mm spacer on front but the clearance between strut and inner side of wheel is still tiny.. I cant even put my finger in between. Guess it only has about 2-3mm. Will I need more than that? 3mm more?

2. The rear is et40 right now planning on putting spacer. 8mm or 10mm? And what camber will I need to prevent rubbing? And to also match up the fronts. Size is 18x9.5 265/35/18.

Thank you for any common and suggestion!

Raymond

The most you can get out of stock strut top hats is about -1.7 with the guiding pin removed. Anything more will require camber plates.
As for the rear the max negative camber is -2.7.

As for the specs I am not entirely sure as I cannot see your rear very well. The front might be fine with max negative camber on the stock top hats.
If you want better tire wear consider minimalizing the toe to between 0 and .10 on each side.

I will post up some more pictures later.

So.. front with -1.7 camber plus another 3mm spacer (13mm total)?
And the rear.. I think I would just put the spacer on then dicide if I need to do camber...

And for the toe, is that for all four corner?

Thanks.
