Help with excess camber and fitment
 
So after buying wheels tires and coil-overs, I've decided that the setup i have has a little too much camber in the rear, but running any less camber and i run into wheel fitment issues with excess poke and rub. I'm happy with the coil-overs i have and the wheel/tire/offset combo i have aesthetically looks and feels perfect to me.

I'm wondering if there's any way i can 'suck' in the rear wheels as if it were a higher [further in?] offset. Ideally i would like close to zero camber as its my daily, but i don't really want to buy all new wheels and tires with a custom offset. would adjustable control arms be what i'm looking for?

What are the specs of your wheels and tires? What coilovers do you have? Any other parts? How slammed are you? Pics? How much camber do you have?

Without raising the car or modifications to the rear quarters I would say no.

I dont know how much you can roll or "pump" the guards though.

You may need to buy rims with the correct offset for your application.

Measure twice....

UCA can suck the top of the rear wheel in or out. LCA move the bottom of the wheel in or out. So, in theory, yes. But we don't know how much his wheels poke, or how extreme his camber is.

I mean, OP thinks he wants zero camber. IMO, this is not what he wants. I would suggest -1 to -2 all around for DD. I DD'd my car for 65K miles with -1.4 front and -2 rear with very even wear.

What @Leonardo said. I am at -2 with no noticeable camber wear on my street tires. They have around 25k miles on them.

Im at -2° at the rear, zero toe, no excessive wear at 15k km.
