SO can someone please explain what this camber does to the tires, they must really wear unevenly then, do they not? Or are the wheels also toed-in a bit to offset the wear or something?

Ok camber alone will not necessarily eat through the tires any quicker (depending on amount) but in correct toe will eat through the tires more. The cool thing about realcamber.com is their xb shims were able to do up to a -5 degrees without and major wear because the shims also helped keep the toe within tolerances.

If you look on the realcamber.com website they have an aligment sheet showing the results and it you look everything is within normal tolerances except the camber and the -3degree shims actually gave like -4 degrees.

Again since the toe and all is still in tolerances the tires will not eat through tires that much faster than normal. Plus it can/will help with cornering.

Hope that helps

I hope they do I am working on the wife letting me get some. I think I can persuade her. I just really want these to help with the looki want to go with

OK, well gee, I really could use these all the way around, all 4 of my tires scrape the wheel well liners at the lip over any little dip... I've got a bit too much offset for the height I'm sitting at...and I don't want to buy new wheels again, already my second set.

Well the camber plates would only be for the back. In the front you would need camber bolts and you can get those to do -2 degrees
