It won't. You have to just make sure you stay within a reasonable range. If you start pushing 1/8th" total toe out then yes you will start to get some feathering and tread wear over time. Most vehicles are toed in (-) from the factory for stability purposes. Same with the rear. If you want to get real loose in the rear you would do the same and give it some toe out (+). It all comes down to moderation and what you are doing with the vehicle. No matter what you set any of the angles at it gives in some areas and takes away from others. You have to find a happy medium based on your purpose.

Car gets wrapped next Saturday. Gonna be a long day, but I'll have a yellow FRS by dinner time. Yellow body, satin black mirrors, black trunk accent, and Eric wants to vinyl face the wheels, which would look cool, but I wasn't thinking about going that far.

I have a raven and would like to go green single offset stripe just like that but have no idea how it will look. Ideas? Too much? Photoshoppers help?

I'm sure he'd be open to whatever you have in mind. Give LM a call and ask for him, or you can just drop by, assuming he isn't in the middle of a project.

REPRESENT! Was thinking of asking tattoo Chris if he can make my screen name and put it on my car but I see myself being pulled over multiple times for that.

Me too. The vinyl was in stock and I rolled a bunch of it out...WOW, its is REALLY yellow. REALLY REALLY yellow. It'll be fun to see an FRS that bright. I think it'll be the first US FRS that's yellow and I know its the first AZ yellow one.

Not quite the first in US, but I will say I'm almost positive first in AZ
