Anyone in Cleveland area want to help with Camber, free beer?

I recently put 21mm spacers on my Carerra. The rear drivers side tire is rubbing at the lip. The passenger is fine. After rolling the fender I still have the problem.

I used straight edge and determined that the wheel has positive Camber ie the top is leaning away from the car and causing my problem. The left is fine, has negative camber and is not rubbing.

Is there anyone in the Cleveland area who has the knowledge and would be interested in helping me solve this problem?

Thanks!

Hey Doug. welcome to the board! I recently went through adjusting my alignment settings on my 914, and after trying to measure the settings I've decided to go and have it done profesisonally. For the $100, I think it is money well spent. Take it over to Steinels - I undeerstand they do good work. Sounds like your camber was out of wack before the spacers?

I am curious why the spacers? What size tires are you using? If you are looking to fill up the wheel wells you can always go with 8's or 9's? I picked up a pair of 9's from somebody on the board and it looks great - then moved the rears to the front - pricey but well worth it?

I am in Lakewood, so I am not next door, but can provide some help in a pinch? Good luck!

I have 7s on the back with 225/50-16 BFGoodrich Sports. I put the spacers on to fill out the fender which is matter pf personal preference. Passenger side looks great, drivers side rubs. 8s or 9s are not in the budget right now. I had the car at Steinels a few weeks ago. I'd like to learn how to set the camber & alignment.
