Talking E70 and 21" wheels

Hi everyone,

About to put some new shoes on an E70 this week (215s....oh yes!)
Does anyone know the camber settings for the 19" OEM wheels that the car comes with?
Anyone with experience in adjusting (or not) camber settings when going up from 19" to 21" on an E70 with sport package?

Thanks

Check with your $tealer. My take is if the wheel has the same diameter then the alignment needs not to change.

Hi Manuel, yea, I was thinking that, but if you were to go from 19" to 21" on an E70 with sports suspension, I was wondering what was optimal? Previously I had 285 19" on the rears, and the camber was original -2.25, then readjusted after the rear wheels lasted only approx 30k to -1.15. I personally like the negative camber, but it is heavy on the pocket esp with these runflats now.

Cheers,

Camber isn't what eats up tires, toe is the culprit (and heavy right foot!).
