Rear toe adjustment question
 
Bought older set of rims that had unknown offset. Had to run a 5x100 to 5x114 conversion spacer (15mm). After I put the rear rims on, it is a little too aggressive. It rubs fender on bumps. I need the negative camber to fit them. I lowered the car about 2 inches on Fortune Auto 500 series coil overs. I have PBM rear lower control arms. How much toe adjustment is there on the stock arms, or is there none? I have an alignment appointment in the next couple days, should I buy adjustable toe arms or are they not necessary?

Should be enough range with the stock setup.

I thought the oem toe arms weren't adjustable.

You should get adjustable toe arms if you want to get your alignment done correctly.

the oem toe arms are adjustable up to roughly -5 camber. Anymore more and you will need aftermarket toe arms.

Sorry, I'm a little lost here. I thought toe arms adjust toe and lca arms arms adjust camber. Also, adjusting camber alters toe so one needs adjustable toe arms to get the toe right with camber alterations.

What i meant to say what that the toe can adjust to compensate for up to -5 degrees of camber coming from the lca.

i didnt meant he toe adjusts the camber.

The stock toe arms attach to the car via eccentric bolt, thus adjustable albeit a limited range.

Just as a reference for everyone. PBM LCA require you to notch part of the subframe so you can get a cess to one of the lock nuts. This is a big design flaw. I wouldn't buy them.
