    Of course it will be safe. Your wheel is never going to move closer to your brake caliper.

    Why all the camber yokota? I don't get this neg camber trend on show cars.

    This is a friends, it fits perfectly flush with the wheel wells.



    And someone else I know.



    I'll get mine up in time.

    Becuase with the width and offset of the wheels you could not possibly tuck tire without some Neg. Camber.

    Well. 1.8* of Neg Camber is supposedly the perfect amount for handling. It allows the tire to totally flatten out in the turns.

    Yes, heat does have its effect on properties (expand). However, these BBK are built very tough, so the heat isn't enough to affect it.

    yeah, unless you have an s13 front suspensino setup
    as you turn, you need more camber to prevent positive camber with it

    not as much as me, but you get hte point

    the reason for mad camber is becuase its a VIP car....simple as that
    no function, no advantage, thats it.
    it looks cool
