    Wait, you're trying to add more negative camber? Why?

        Just lower your car. It happens automagically. I had three degrees when I spun my coils down.

          Your tires are stretched too much, that's one reason that's happening. What kind of pressure are you running? Looks like you're running too low.

              The problem is your tires don't fit your rims. Negative camber will just move the uneven wear from the outside to the inside.

                  I like how you think rolled fenders "look like shit" but you want your wheel to sit fucking sideways.

                  Good luck, hopefully the poke fanboys can help you out here.

                    I don't think you understand what fender rolling is. You can not distinguish a rolled fender from an unrolled render unless you stick your fingers in there or shove your head in the wheel well.

                      It looks to me that you have more than 3deg or rear camber now. I'd say you need to re-think your choice of wheels/tires.

                      We run 3-3.5deg of rear camber on race cars (and zero to 1/16" total toe) for performance and accept the higher tire wear. On a street car that makes no sense.
                      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

                          I did this, running -6 in the rear. You could probably get more if you put the camber adjustment eccentrics on the outside rather than the inside like me, but you don't need it. I gained about 20mm of clearance this way and was able to take my 16x10 et16 from sticking out 7mm to tucked inside with plenty of room





                          Make sure you correct the toe at the same time or else your tires will be gone quite fast. Mines set at slightly more than factory spec and my tires have been doing fine.

                            and what would you run on 9j ?

                              Yes, roll the inner lip to prevent cutting the side wall of the tire. You can do this without altering the 'look' of the fender.
