Fender rolling only flattens the lip. will definitely need some camber and possibly a pull.

So do I just need rear adjustable UCA's to adjust the camber? And how much faster is my tread gonna wear

If your toe is in check it shouldn't wear out that bad. You'll still be able to flip the tires and have usable tread again when needed. Its not like you'll wear them out like crazy. But you'll need more than just camber to fit those tires.

93Z,

To add to what Edgar said, just so you know camber has very little to do with tire wear... The toe being out of wack is what really starts to wear down your tires..

Think about a snow plow going down the street. Snow plows are at an angle so that they can push the snow out of the street meanwhile the vehicle pushing the plow is going straight. Well thats what your tires are doing. Since the tires are pointed at an angle but the car is going straight its creating alot of rolling resistance.

Make sense?

I didn't actually read that article but it looks like it would answer any more questions you may have. :bigthumb:

If not just post in this thread.
