    I didn't even know there were "regular spacers", I just knew of the hubcentric ones that aren't that reliable.
    Isn't there some good quality ones out there, that SHOULDN'T brake?

      the hubcentric ones are the ones that ARE reliable, the slotted ones like the first picture above are the ones you shouldnt use. i've heard of them cracking the first time someone torqued the lugnuts down.

        That green Ram 2500 has been running these for over a year. Same seller.
        Never had any sorts of issues even after heavy off road abuse.

          my point is if you have negative camber, you also have your toe out.
          get the toe zero'd and you could keep the camber.
          it's the toe that's killing your tires.
          so even though i already said the toe was within specs, you are still telling me that is was the toe being out that ruined my tires not the camber


          here is an excerpt from that page

          *edit* something else to add - lower profile tires will tend to wear a bit more on the inside edge with negative camber, even with proper alignment. I do get a bit more inner wear on my 205/45-16's than I did on my 195/55-15's or 205/50-15's. I would imagine 40-series tires would be worse. A taller sidewall can flex more, therefore more even pressure is maintained across the tread even with negative camber.

          i had 245-40-17 so the inside wall takes all the abuse and i take turns quite aggressively

                    The paint chipping on the wheel well is from rolling the fenders too much.

                      i don't get what's so funny about spanky's car?
                      he basically pushed the envelope as far as wheel fitment. some people hate it, some people like it, and some people try to surpass it.
                      that car is beautiful as far as sheet work to the fenders no waves or anything it's even beautiful under the hood.
                      i think he was even crown the low offset king or something like that.

                        That XJ is beautiful. Is there any more pictures of it?

                        That EG is fuckin sick. I'm not sure why he has a cage though.

                          If it helps, i got my CB lowered on F&F type 1's and i went as low as they went pretty much. i have pretty bad rubbing going on when i turn the wheel anything past 2 anda half turns. and all i got was the coils, no camber kit or anything.

                            Pics, wheel specs, and pics would be helpful.
