Increasing Negative Camber Options



  Clio 172 Ph1
Need to increase my negative camber on dedicated track car running on R888's.
The issue is that the front coilover body thickness prevents getting anymore than about -1.5 due to the inner edge of the tyre rubbing on the strut body.

Seems logical to consider moving the wheel out from the hub / disc to increase the gap and allow for more camber adjustment. Wheels spacers would do this but are a bit of a faff when changing wheels regularly and presume ably even with extended bolts, would put more stress on the wheel bearing ?

What other options do I have, I think you can add hub spacers on the rears but not sure about the front due to the driveshafts etc.

Appreciate your advice

Hub spacers on the rear

Bolt to hub spacers on the front

Don't do bolt to hub spacers on the front , you'll have to remove all the wheels one by one to check its torque after a track outing . Plus i have heard of an instance where a wheel came off on track when the bolts holding the spacer came loose . Fit the type I have , only 4 nuts to check after an outing on track and no wheel removal . Win win from my perspective .

They look interesting,
Are these just tightened into the standard threaded bolt holes ? Interested to know how to get these tight without crushing the thread if so?
or are they fed through the back of the disc ?
what width are the spacers?, the ones i have seen online seem to be 15mm or 16mm. Just wondering if I am then gonna cause the reverse issue of have the outside of the tyre rubbing the outer wheel arch ?
where did you get the kit from out of interest ?
