Anyone know what camber and toe settings work well with 185/60 R14 tires? Thanks. I just bought some camber bolts to replace the stock ones. My tires seem to be wearing on the inside more then normal.
0 toe .
camber doesn't really affect tire wear unless its very extreme.
i run 185-65-14 and use the same setings as i did with 12s.
some like 16th inch total toe out but i really like 0 toe.

I set my camber perfectly and after a few months (5-8k miles) of driving I noticed I had extremely bad inner tire wear in the front. Turns out I forgot to take my weight (200 lbs) into account and apparently it's enough to cause my suspension geometry to change drastically.

I noticed (before I replaced the LCA on both sides) that my outer edges were wearing more than normal. But replacing the LCA fixed that problem. Inside wear is from toe in/out not being set properly.
Also, have you done any suspension mods?

Also, after speaking with festevil3 for a bit on the phone, doing a toe-in of around 1/8-1/4" of an inch either side eliminates that tire chewing. Explanation was that as you go under power the wheels will cock outward to 0° and they'll be traveling straight with this setup as opposed to having them at0° to begin with and them cock outwards when moving forward. Made amazing sense to me. I'm doing it this weekend.
