I need to roll my fenders..the problem is I have no idea how much camber I'm running in the rear. I'm scared of over-pulling them or not pulling them enough getting an alignment setting the camber to the numbers I want 1.5-2 and the fenders being pulled further than the wheel or too little.

I'd like to set the camber all the way around to 1.5-2 deg before I roll and pull the fenders so I have an idea of how much clearance I need.

How can I do this?

I have a RUCA's btw

Thanks

Trial and error is the only way that i know of, set your camber, start rolling and do a little pull, set the car down, and see if its enough, if it isn't pull a bit more. Just go slowly and only pull a little bit each time till its perfect.

Are you asking how you can measure the rear camber?

JRas

I can set the front from the camber plates on the strut tower, but for the rear I have no way of telling how much is currently on it or how much I'm adding

Yes, kinda

slap some steelies or oem wheels on, then get an alignment with your desired camber specs.

after that, then toss your lower offset wheels and do the trial and error. roll + pull, then lower. Repeat until desired pull is reached.

could I go to an alignment shop ask them to set my camber at my specs

but don't actually preform an alignment

than I can pull my fenders to spec

come back and have them actually do an alignment?

how the heck can you do that? unless you wanna sit down with a mathmatician and do the geometry on paper or "guess" where you tire "might" sit after the alignment... then by all means, go for it.

but you're making it seem waay harder than it needs to be.

^ I agree. Follow Adrians steps save yourself troubles. If you know someone with a camry, slap those wheels on. they are 5 lug 114.3

get an alignment, then use the newspaper trick to pull it.

it's impossible to pull your fenders to much with this method, unless you stack a phonebook on the tire.

what are you wheel/tires setup for this? and its on an S14 right?

I think if you posted the specs we could probably help you a bit more or point you in the right direction for how much you need to pull your qtr panels.
i think theres a wheel/tire setup pic thread (havent been on zilvia much lately), i bet you can find a similar setup and find out how many MM they pulled the fenders.
