Subject:      T3 Camber adjustment w/ Aftermarket wheels?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hey all

I installed some Antera 8x17" wheels on the vanagon. ET33., about 10 months
ago...

I had the alignment done, but I have noticed that my front tires on both
sides are wearing on the outer edges of the tires, with little to none on the
inner edges.

Back tires are fine, all tires have a load range of 1550 each.

Do I need to adjust the camber for the wider tires? Maybe like a degree
inwards at the top of the wheel?

Thanks,

Chris
