Rear Camber Shims

If I were to get these:

Will it affect my toe noticeably?

If so, how are you meant to adjust the toe if using a shim like that?

Thanks.

camber and toe are related, you increase/decrease one, the other increases or decreases

on the rear of a clio, if you add say a 1deg camber shim then you will get more rear toe in, this is countered by adding an another shim (less extreme say 20min) turned 90dgrees to conteract the toe in

Got you, cheers.

So if I were to fit that 2deg shim above, get the alignment checked and buy another shim (10,20,30min) to get it back to correct toe?

Would the extra shim make a difference to how far the wheel sticks out? I know the camber shim will make the bottom of the wheel stick out a bit more.

yeah it does, but you're talking tiny amounts of adjustment from the shims, 0.2mm on the shim could mean 3mm at the bottom of the wheel (think pythagoras LOL!)

I see, my brain is struggling to process it ha.

I'll have to do some pretty diagrams. Or just leave it and hope it works

Thanks Fred.

More worried about the clearance at the top anyway

 

[Fred@BTM]

that won't be an issue (is that your ghetto car?)

Yeah it is, not sure if ghetto is a good thing or not?

Will be running 40 profile tyres too
