How much negative Camber
 
I was looking into adding some negative camber to the rear of my car to tuck my xxr 527 I just put on and was wondering if anyone can tell me how much I can run before getting extreme tire ware. I know it will ware more with negative camber but I dont want to have to replace my tires every 5k like some of the beemer guys.

I would be warey to run too much cambare to increase the chance of tire ware.

Thats what I'm worried about, I'm ok with replacing tires a bit early but I'm not wanting to replace every oil change

I had significant tire wear at -3°. I run -1.5° all around now.

I ran -2+ for a while with no negative effects aside from the car understeering more than usual. Which imo is bad enough.

I'd be more concerned with the toe setting more than the camber as long as you are at -2.5 or less.

As Silvapain mentioned any more negative over -2.5 will likely cause considerable camber wear more than likely.
