Default One Ton Camber Shims

I was wondering how far this moves the tire/ wheel out. I specially want to know about the top of the wheel. The website says 3/8, which I assume is measured at the bottom. Does the top of the rim move out some, or move in further.

I'd really like to run these, but I'd like to make sure my wheels still will tuck clean.

It moves the top of the rim in. I am assuming it moves in as much as the bottom moves out....

thats my car with 17 x 7 +25 wheels, OTG hub spacer shims, and OTG camber shims. as you can see the top of the wheel is sunken in back to where it was before i put all the spacers on...

Cool, thanks for the pics. I wasn't sure how exactly it changed the wheel. Shouldn't have any trouble then if the top moves in. If the top moved out even 5mm I'd have rubbing issue on my fenders.

the rubbing issue oddly enough is at the FRONT of the rear wheel opening. i have to pull and roll my fender even more to stop the rubbing. take a look around the fron tof your rear wheel opening and see if the stupid metal lip is pulled down or damaged at all...

No mine doesn't touch that metal lip, but only by about 2 fingernails thickness from touching that. My wheels never rub until I actually set all the way down, then the tread sits inside the wheel well. I'll have to look close at the front edge to see if I can get away with a little more clearence.

Do the camber shims come with hardware long enough to use both the spacers and the shims? I already have the rear spacers and was thinking about stacking the 2 myself.

i bought mine as a kit and it came with the longer bolts needed to stack them.

you need 8 M10 x 1.25 bolts of the highest strength you can find. safety first! . also you need 8 M10 split washers if you dont already have them.

when you stack them you have to put the camber plate against the trailing arm, THEN the OTG regular spacer shim. its easy to do tho, but it is a bit tricky lining up the dogbones, 2 spacers, and getting the bolts to line up to the hub assembly.
