with stock suspension, +15 with rolled guards or +25 with stock bodywork. There's plenty of room on the inside without moving the rails.

[edited to make clearer]
* More castor will pull the tyre forward.
* More camber [positive camber] will tilt the tyre bottom inwards (or top outwards if done via camber plate)
* Less camber [towards negative camber] will tilt the tyre bottom outwards (or top inwards if done via camber plate)


The coupe had custom-order 15" Panasports which did not rub. Yella Feva wanted them to stick out a bit, so replaced them with the +0 wheels.

except that when people say more camber, they mean more negative camber. ie "you can fit those 15x8 +0 if you run a bit more camber", means more negative camber. No-one calls it less camber as you have above.

Good point. I learned from old-time mechanics, when more camber meant exact that -- more camber e.g. +3 camber was typical. For the sake of the younger crowd I'll start saying negative or postive to make it more clear.

I was trying to explain that "more camber makes it fit" ... well that depends on how you do it.
* More negative camber achieved with camber bolts or adjustable LCA results in less room between between tyre and guard.
* Pulling the top of the strut inboard for a more negative camber results in more room between tyre and guard.

Also note it can have less [positive] camber for more room and still not go negative (stock was up to 2 degrees positive camber).

Sorry DD i should have said neg camber.
I do like the look of the +0 offset, being the dish it has.
If I can get the wheel in the guards with neg camber then that's me...I just don't want to spend $Xxx on a set of 8's that won't fit the front of my ute. The rear will be fine. If its been done before then happy days :)
Thanks for some enlightenment on this boys.
