Negative camber - what is recommended?

I am going to adjust the front end of My beetle so it has more negative camber
My car is just a road car

so what is acceptable ?
and useful
and won't wear the tyres out in a few thousand kms..

I don't want it in minutes and degrees

degrees and maybe a figure in mms..??
something I can use..

Rims are 6 inches wide

165 tyres

u wont need much seeing its a street car

Maybe go 0.5 degrees... I run 2.5 on my club car, and will get ti to about 3 soon.

Also i get mine done with me in the car, so that its even in normal driving conditions....

1 deg neg on the front.... 1 deg neg on the rear.

I ran 2.5 degree neg on a road car with yokohama a008 tyres for 12 months and tha wear was vert little.

So with your tyres and use i reckon, 1.5 neg camber front and 1 neg rear.

Also it will be dependant on the profile of your tires. Assuming they are 165R15's the profile is pretty high and i think the tire wall will flex and wear the tred evenly. Its more of an issue when your running lower profile wide tires.....

Yes, I realize that
so I shouldn't have any problems
I will be doing the rear end in the future too

yeah about 1 deg sounds good thats what i ran and got about 5000 miles out of a set of firestones wore very evenly.
