    Default Question about bigger wheels and camber

    I'm about to upgraded my 16's in favor for bigger and wider 18's. Will doing so change my suspension geometry and affect my camber negatively or positively? Or will there be no change at all?

    Oh btw I have a macpherson strut type front suspension on my car, and my rear is a sold beam axle

    Ok, then why are you even asking? You should get your shit aligned, then ask question with the results.

    You will know once you install them. We cannot tell you if it will or will not affect you alignment. We do not know your suspension situation and wheel setup.

    Most Maximas camber gets pretty negative while daily driving in the rear.

    At least make sure the outside diameter of the 18" tires are the exact same outside diameter as the stock tires...then get it aligned.

    It shouldnt change being that your not changing the height, just the wheels. now if you lower or raise your maxipad then yes geometry will change.

    well yeah thats just smart practice. new tires get an alignment so they are straight so they last get your money out of them. thats the way i work at least.
