What does it mean when your car rims tilt inward?
It’s no longer enough to have the most outrageous set of rims. That’s just a start. Taking those rims to the next level is the process of “stancing” the wheels so they tilt inward at the top. This is done by creating extreme negative wheel camber, which is also known as “demon camber”.
Why are my rear tires slanted outwards?
The previous owner has been rotating the tires and I have noticed inner tire wear on all of the tires. There is hardly any outer wear at all and two of the tires were just purchased 1 year ago. Honestly that sounds like something a shop would have to evaluate. Wheel alignment isn’t something a home mechanic can accurately do at home.
How does camber affect the angle of a tire?
Camber is one of the alignment specifications which affect the angle, or tilt of the wheel compared to the vehicle’s body. If you are looking directly at the front or rear of a car, the angle of the tire relative to the ground is the camber.
What kind of car has slanted rear tires?
I have a 1998 Honda Civic LX (4 door sedan). I just noticed today that both rear tires are slanted outward. It’s not significant, but it was enough for me to notice. I jacked the rear end of the car up and then set it back down. The problem seemed to correct itself.

Why do some cars have more inclined wheels than others?
In many cars, negative camber is good because it corrects the effects of leaning during cornering. However, too much negative camber causes the car to have more sensitivity to the road’s crown. The tires also wear out at a faster rate than other cars.
When do you change the wheel inclination on your car?
The amount of wheel inclination that you want for your car will depend on the type of suspension you have. Once you have changed the suspension, you will be required to change the camber plates. With more inclination, more pressure is applied to the wheel that is in contact with the ground.
