Do you guys think I should go get an alignment? I got my car aligned after putting my coils on, then I put new wheels on and maxxed camber all around. I just don't want my toe to be outta whack.

By u switching wheels it didn't do anything but by messing wit the camber it mostlikely threw ur toe off, if ur trying to make the tires last u a bit longer why not

yeah. ^what he said. anything you do to your suspension like lower/raise it, adjust camber, toe, etc, you will throw off the alignment specs. however, chaning the wheels does nothing

If you lowered your car more, then yes. I'm going to put more toe in, because I'm getting pretty bad inner toe wear.

Here's a crappy picture.

whenever your mess with the height of the car, the toe in/out will always be affected and is the leading cause of tire ware. many people think tire ware is because of camber, but its mainly because of the toe. if its not aligned correctly, expect to replace your tires very often. haha. this is a pic of what toe in/out it.

edit: that pic resembles a car withe the front bumper facing downward. just in case you get the in/out confused. hehe

*Tire WEAR, not ware.

Toe is also the main contributor of steering pull and will affect the steering ability of your vehicle. Toe is NOT the main cause of tire wear. Also when you lower a vehicle, Toe is not always completely affected. Toe is generally affected when you mess with your tie rods. The proper adjustment for toe is to adjust tie rods. JeremyDoc, camber is actually a bigger wear on tires and is always affected when you lower a vehicle. Camber affects the way in which a tire is "leaning" either in or out of in comparison to the vertical axis of the vehicle.

Toe:


Camber:


To review. Camber affects tie wear, toe mostly effects steering effort. Too much or too little camber can also make your vehicle pull.

Toe is a tire wear multiplier when driving a cambered car. I think we're all smart enough to realize camber puts MORE wear on the inside of the tire. The wrong toe setting will exacerbate the tire wear and speed up the rate it wears at. Why are you such a dick and have to argue online so much? You always have to instigate a fight.
GTFO.

Spicy your the biggest fool here, camber wear is a myth. Toe is what chews up your tires not camber.

Toe Wear

Camber Wear


Lets see another thread you can troll in.

Also another example off the top of my head. Your shoes wear faster up front...where your TOEs are, because when you walk your putting your weight on your toes, then moving forward. This also goes for your alignment, if your have too much toe out your fighting with the road, causing more agressive wear pattens on the inside of your tire.

If you get your Toe zeroed out with -6 camber you will have true camber wear. Which will last twice as long than driving around with your toe out of spec.

Don't ever say again that Toe doesn't effect wear on your tires you ignorant fool.
