Yeah, plus my wheels are SLIGHTLY turned...so that makes it look a little worse...but it is a lot of camber nonetheless.

Do you have camber kits or are you just going all natural? That much camber can't be safe on the front wheels.

No camber kits...I'm going to re-do my suspension. I bought the car like this, and from what I can tell...the previous owner heated the springs on stock shocks, so my shocks are blown and I can't really do much without replacing everything. So I'm probably going to buy me some Omnipower Coilovers when I get the extra money to do it.

Tire wear is kind of rough, I probably get about 12K miles or so on a set of fresh front tires. It's probably about time for me to get another set. But I might be trading wheels, so I'll hold off on that for now.

i've heard by going to 205's your handling gets a little sloppy especially if you have a 15x6.5 or any rim that isn't x7

Well when you have as much camber as I do, tire size doesn't really matter. My camber is my main mode of handling.
