I just replaced my BFG 245/60/15's with some 275/60/15 drag radials in the rear. Now the camber is way off. Is this normal? The top of the wheels are pointing out if looking at it from the rear. Was my camber possibly already way out but the larger tires are just making it more noticable or is this just the way the geometry works out with the stock suspension. I would think it might change a little but this looks pretty drastic. Granted, I haven't moved the car yet so maybe the tires are sticking to the floor and once it's moved it will flatten out a little more. :confused:

The manager at my tire store said not only did my lowering the car knock the alignment out (obviously) but replacing the F70/15's with BF 255/60/15's also affected my camber. I'm completely realigned now but I guess the answer is yes.

Problem Resolved - Actually it wasn't a problem at all. It was as I suspected. When I lowered the car off the jacks, and the suspension is unloaded the wheels hang down. Well, when I put it back onto the ground the tires are sticky enough that they wouldn't let the tires shift a little after lowering. I backed the car out of the garage and it all looks fine now. Man, these 275/60's seem MUCH bigger than the 245/60's! I'll take some pics tomorrow at the Houston Hooters Vette show.

Don't you love those quick fixes? Oh yeah, I switched from 245's to 275's and dang do these tires look fat!

Do you have the offset trailing arms?

Also - which Hooters - what is the cross street?
:party:

No, I don't have offset trailing arms, I did cut off the emerg brake mounts though.
Hooters at I-45 and Hwy 1960.
