Wheels are to wide for normal camber kit? Can I pull the wheels in from the bottom??

[prestony889]

I have a 2005 300 limited, lowered 1.5 with 10'' wide 24's. I need to fix the negative camber problem but if I do I think the wheels will smash right into the fenders. I was wondering if they make any kits that pull the bottom of the wheel in rather then pushing the top of the wheel out like normal camber kits.
Please let me know if you know of anything to fix this. I only have about 7,000 miles on my tires and the insides are already worn out.

have you looked into these kits?

I have looked into those kits but they all adjust the camber from the top which will probaly push my tire into my fender. As of right now I can't even fit my fingers threw the gap of my tire and fender.

no, that is not how they work..

think about it:

if the tire is out at the bottom, then it is in at the top.... example:

negative chamber: / \



positive chamber: \ /



Correct chamber: | |


if you pull in the bottom, you push out the top, if you push in the bottom you pull out the top..


negative chamber occurs when you lower a car, the bottom of the wheel kicks out..

positive chamber occurs when you raise a car, the top of the wheel kicks out..


the SPC chamber kit above allows for 1.5 degrees of correction, either way..

if mounted with the offset bushing toward the outside of the car, it pulls the bottom of the wheel in from this: / to this |


if mounted with the offset bushing toward the inside of the car, it pulls the top of the wheel in from this: \ to this |


I had 1.3 degrees negative chamber on my 300 with a 3.5 inch suspension drop on coilovers... the SPC kit lined me up to a .02 degree positive chamber, and spec is + or - .05 degrees, so I am dead on spec..

[Mr. iNCREDIBLE]

oh yeah, and if correcting the chamber makes the wheel too close to the fender, then you need to roll your fenders..

Thanks for the help everyone.

My fenders are rolled that's why I'm so worried about the tires hitting because I have no other options.

what size tire are you running? (not wheel, the full tire size)

and can you post up a picture?
