using camber kit to eliminate rubbing?
My 94 E420 is lowered with H&R sport springs.
A couple months ago I had some adjustable camber arms
installed to correct my excessive rear camber (3.25 degrees).
Needless to say it worked great with the wheels I had at the time.
I've upgraded to 18x8.5 inch wheels all the way round and have gotten
all four fenders rolled ( flared in the front as well).
But I'm still rubbing in the rear over bumps and stuff.
I was thinking of adjusting some more negative camber in the rear
to perhaps eliminate some of the rubbing until I can get the
fenders rolled and flared a little bit more. Anyone ever done this?
I'm well aware that my tires will probably wear out faster.

point taken.
Yeah I was kind of iffy when I found out the wheels were
18x8.5. I solved the clearance problems in the front so all isn't lost.
I shall report the results of whatever I decide to do.
