True that.

From the photo it can be seen it is not a camber problem. It is the wrong wheel fitted (too much positive offset).

Looking at the tyre wear, Excessive negative camber will also bring the tyre closer to the strut body, provided the negative was dialed into the strut by bending the the strut body at the base adjacent to the axle spindle.

That is the wrong wheel for a Datsun. It is most likely from a FWD car.

Get a Datsun or Toyota rear-wheel-drive wheel.

Yes, something is WRONG.

In a stock B210, there is no possible way this can occur. The stock 4x12" wheel positions the tire far, far away from the strut tube.

* Wheel: 4x12" +30
* Tire 155SR12
