I understand how that helped your camber and all, but wouldnt it also push the upper part of the tire outwards as a result? The only reason i ask is because with my drop and my 17s I had to run the rear tires at -1 degree so they wouldnt rub

What kind of wrench are you using also? If you are using a box wrench, it's a waste of time. You may want to try a flare wrench if you don't want to use a vice grips.
