Tire wear and camber kit

F80_M3llow · 04-23-2011, 05:20 PM

Hi guys I have a question. Im stuck. I have m3 offset lc818s 22 rear and I'm getting my fenders rolled soon. I'm just worried about premature tire wear and uneven wear. I need to know if there are any good camber kits. If I get the kit for the rear will I need to also get the front cAmber kit. I'm lowered on h&r street coilovers and running +22 in the rear with a 265/30 falken 452. Any help from you guys with e90s with m3 offsets can Chime in if I really need Thease. Thanks

No camper kits for the rear. Just watch the toe setting to minimize premature wear. Stock toe settings should serve you well.

Pretty self explanatory on what it could do to your tires.

No, camber is not the same as toe. The diagram I posted above shows toe settings (Toe-in and Toe-out).

Camber is as shown below.

The goal is for you to get as close as possible to OEM alignment specs. However with aftermarket wheels being different sized along with tires, this will of course change things. Your goal still remains the same if you want to maximize the life of your tires.
