I've got 245/50/15's. I'm pulling 1.0 degrees camber. I have about 5,000 miles on this setup. Seems like decent wear pattern. Have about 5 road course track days and one autocross on it. *correction my camber has been 1.0 degrees

Since with our typical car set-ups, IMO you can't have enough camber, like 2-3, however from my experience, anything over .5- will not get past 20K on the street.
We run .25 on the street and, 2.2 for track.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I currently have .75 on mine( Firestone street tires) and no noticeable wear issues. I think I'll be running Falken 615K's and if I got 20,000 miles from them I'd be more than happy.
Like a noted, I've got away with 1.0 degrees. But that is a 245 (9.6") wide tire with a 4.85" sidewall height/thickness.
A 315/30/18 is 12.4" wide tire with 3.75" of sidewall.
IIRC, you have your own alignment equiptment at home. Then I'd try 1.0 degree then watch/measure tire wear very closely.

Thanks. Yes I just have a caster/camber gauge.

I would not worry about camber as much, It's the toe that eats up the tires

I run 1/2 degree negative with a 265/35 18. It's been good so far, I think I could get away with a little more. maybe 3/4 to 1 on the street.
Off topic, but are you comming down to Spring Fling Speed Festival this year at Willow Spring and test out that camber on the track??

Hello brads70,
So do you have a 315/30/18 under your E body at the front? If so what is your combo?
Damon
No not yet. What I'm toying with is buying a new pair of AMD fenders and modifying them to fit .Storing my original fenders so I could put the car back to stock down the road if I wanted? No way stock fenders would work with that size. Right now the front end is off for welding in the US Cartool cowl braces. I finally have saved up enough for new rims/tires etc.... so just weighing my options?
