In regards to the tire they just flip them on the rim and exchange them left to right

If not for the cut it would still have at least 5000km/s in it, especially given it has worn so hard on that side.

Get a wheel alignment dude

The reason its so worn is because my car is so low that the wheels are cambered like shit haha.

And if they did that wouldnt the tyre valves be on the inside of the rim making it hard to reach?

this image illustrates my point lol

Nah man the tyres and the rim are completely separate of each other and the valve is a part of the rim, so you can easily go into any tyre shope, say can you please flip the rears on the rims and swap them around and for $0-30 depending on how ratshit they are you will have a crap load more km's left in your tyres

Its extremely important for me too as the camber on the rear just eats tyres.

EDIT: Isn't part of the rim, the rim has a pre-cut hole the valve is inserted into

I think it's more a misunderstanding as to the tyre inner tube and the tyre being separate things.

They can swap the tread around and have the inner tube in the same orientation.

Gif gets other paint off of your car too, just be gentle with it. Also gets rid of those black show marks from bottom of the door frame if you have any.

Replaced the passengers side electric window switch, one of mine stopped working for some reason lol.

With standard independent suspension, when lowering the car it naturally cambers the wheel, only way to resolve it is to get adjustable camber plates/suspension

Derp =  looks cool!!!

Plenty of stupid things to spend money on - I suppose people do what they want with their hard earned cash ah?

Anyway a small amount of camber looks fucking good on a lot of cars imo - and so long as you get them flipped on the rim regularly (free usually if you go where you buy your tyres from) its hardly an issue.

To the extent of handling vs looks, Personnally I would prefer handling, def no more than couple degrees

Some cars look good with stretched tires and a bit of negative camber.


Most cars do not.

I enjoy seeing the odd car with positive camber. Then you know it's not just there for looks, but for the simple fact that it probably has enough power under the hood to munch babies.

My car has some positive camber, handles like a fucking dream

Too much will obviously ruin the handling but so long as your toe and castor are properly aligned there's nothing wrong with it.
