Default question about camber n tires

sooo i got new tires on my aftermarket wheels and i was wondering if i get spacers would it help with my neg camber on the rears? i have like -3 or -2.5 camber and my wheels are 35 offset. sooo if i get like a 5 - 20 mm spacers would it help with how my tires are? i had alignment n toe done and the max they could set it to was -2.5 or -3 camber and toe is like close to 0. but i can still tell the neg camber is eating my inner tires.. im on megan coilovers with no gap its tucked.. or should i go with a camber kit?


oh and umm imma be getting a lip kit on soon so if i raise my car up to 1 or 1.5 finger gap would that mess up my alignment and would i need to get another alignment / toe check? and would having my car raised up a little more help with getting my camber close to 0 or -1?

1. No, spacers will not have an effect on camber
2. Yes, raising the car will reduce your currently negative camber closer to 0

Yup, pretty much whenever you change the height you should get an alignment. But if you're just spinning the platforms on some coilovers up just a bit, it shouldn't be that far off, since you're not disassembling anything

Go get another alignment were they specialize in lowered cars. The stock camber adjustments for the rear have a lot to play with...trust me!
