Default Max available front camber?

Hey guys, got a new set of wheels which are 17x9 +35 & +40, front and rear respectively, and I'm getting scrub. I figured the best way to fix it up would be aggressive camber.

As we were getting the fronts aligned, one side would max at -1 degree and the other at -1.5, I was hoping I could clear at least 2 degrees to help prevent any scrub. Does this sound normal?

Also while we're here, suggestions to stop scrubbing? I'm running at close to stock height (slight slight drop from ground control sleeves) and rears are at -2.5 degrees of camber which looks great, but still encounter slight scrub on hard cornering and dips/bumps in the road.





Cheers in advance.

option 1: fender roll + fender pull + bumper tab relocated + -3 degrees of camber (offset ball joints)

option 2: get wheels that actually fit this car.

This, plus if you are really maxing at -1 up front, something is bent.

Also why are you running the lower offset in the front? You should put the +40 in front and the +35 int he rear. You HAVE to roll your fenders. The wheels will do damage to your fenders soon if you don't. Do that then worry about alignment.

On my stock adjusters I was able to get -2.3 in front on both sides lowered about 3/4" from stock.
