ripped_fear Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 As above I have just re fitted my split rims after a refurb, and the drivers side rear seems to have lost its negative camber? The wheel is now past the arch. Can coilovers alter if the car stays sat? Its only been sat a month. Originally I though it was because it may need to settle. Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdavies Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You sure the centers aren't different offsets ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You sure the centers aren't different offsets ? I immediately thought this also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 As above, if they're split rims with staggered widths chances are the offsets will be different front and rear, so there will be a 'deeper' mounting section on the rear of the face. Hopefully not, but it is possible that a front face has been rebuilt onto the rear barrel and dish bud. You'd notice it on the front as well though, as one wheel would sit in further than previously.

Kaan W Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Just looked through your build thread, it looks as if the hub face is thicker on 2 of the centre sections but one has been used on the front and one on the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I would guess as above Jake, check your centres, they are probably mixed up Check your two front to see if they are sitting different to each other The other possibility is the hubcentric ring isn't sat properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 If the suspension has not been changed, 100% a front centre piece on a rear rim etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Damn can't believe my stupidity. Could have sworn I kept them all with the right lip though. Will have to check one evening. Does sound like the most plausible reason though. Thought this job was over. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
