I have recently put an 18" wheel and tire combo on my 1996 bonnie. I now have a camber issue and I need to resolve it before I where out the inside of my tires. I only have 1500 miles on them so far, but I would rather not have to replace them before I need to. I have searched the internet for some sort of camber adjustment plate, but I really haven't found anything to my liking. I would rather not do anything to the struts. I am looking for a little guidance on where to look. And any recommendations about what to do and where to look would be great.

I took it to get a 4 wheel alignment and they took all the negative camber out they could. But it still sits on the inside of the tires too much. How does the adjustment bolt work?
What degree of neg. camber do you have? Typically 1/2 a degree is optimal, any more and you wear your tires.
Did you lower the car as well? Wheel/tire diameters don't affect camber as far as I know. :?

I haven't lowered it as of yet. I just don't like the way it sits and would like to get the wheels looking level. Right now the camber is -.06 degrees left and -.08 degrees right. I understand this is within GM specs. I would just like to change the way it looks.
