Why do you think your cambers out?

All wheels or just the fronts?

 ???

Do you have stock suspension?

Slim,
On my previous tires the front inners where bold. I dont want this to ruin my new ones as the car is low on coilovers.

The first thing to check is the wheel alignment if the tyres are wearing unevenly. You can do a basic setting for camber (ie. approx 0 degrees) by using a spirit level. The way to do this is as follow :-

Jack the car up
Remove one wheel
Place the spirit level on the front panel
Lower the jack until the spirit level is level
Place the spirit level on the brake disc
Adjust the disc/strut with the 2 suspension bolts or the balljoint bolts on the wishbone
Do this until the spirit level is level
Tighten bolts

Repeat for other wheel

Hope that helps  :D

Rear camber and track is non-adjustable. It will only be out of spec due to accident damage, or severe suspension wear.

I think you want to set the camber very very slightly negative, ie. top of wheel further in than the bottom.

Couldn't make last night as my wife could give birth to my daughter at any time now. We will have to all meet another time.
