Had a random look at my from wheel earlier, there's loads of camber on it  Should I get camber adjustment bolts?

Yes. Also get it tracked as both go to piss when you lower the car.
It is the cheaper option when faced with repeatedly changing your tyres, although they do look like cheapo 165's on a 13" rim.

SR-91: Not at speed, only rubbed a bit when parking I'd have thought it would be pointing out at the top if that had happened though.
Letgsi: They are exactly that Michelin Energy, 165/70/13
I was going to get it tracked soon because it's definitely a little bit out, not as bad as it has been before, but I do have to hold the wheel slightly off centre.
Just watched the video on LMF, is it easy enough to do without a camber spirit level thing?

It's wearing the tyres down really unenvenly though Not really bothered about these ones, but will do when my Softstars are back on.
Yeah there is a big gap, the door is wonky or bent or something Been like that since I bought it. Sticks out at the top as well, apparently it's really breezy when I go fast

camber does assist handling, uits not a case of more is better, having them perfectly aligned gives better traction off the line as the full with of the tyre is on the road, and a couple of degrees camber helps handling, that is quite alot in the pic though

You can but there is no such thing as a perfect set up. What suits one track will not suit another, its just a case of making the best of what you have.

Is the camber the same both sides? cos if you've got a big gap between door and wing, there's probably been some damage to your car at some point which might be the problem. If not, sort the camber and get it tracked and jobs a good 'un.

Ive kept my camber when i lowered 60mm but the tracking wrecked a set of tyres before i realised and had it sorted
