excessive negative camber

Hey guys,

So I decided to mess about with missus C30 and fitted Jaguar Vela wheels.
It looks good really good, but I noticed negative camber is bit excessive on rear wheels, as far as I know +/- camber should not be effected when fitting bigger/wider wheels.
Did anyone had similar issues with bigger wheels? :)

Can't see why it would make any difference. Different wear pattern on the new tyres? Maybe just a bit more obvious on the wider wheel?

I think those wheels really suit it but you'll have to change the caps 😀

I don't think that looks particularly excessive?

If you are concerned there are a number of chains that do a free alignment check that will include camber.

thats standard on c30 s40 c70 platform cars but you can buy after market arms that have adjustment if you dont like what you have .

Hi
Also think volvo do other arms with less camber.

I have this Volvo number for the V50, 31201356 but would be worth checking first.

Hey guys,

So went to ATS Euromaster to check alignment and apparently it is within the manufacture limits
