Had my WRX set up with a bit of negative camber and was running -1o 17' (Prodrive setting is -1o15') which I found went through my tyres to quick for my liking, I've since had it reset to -1o 05'.

I've now gone to 18" x 7.5" wheels, will this make much of a change to the camber settings, i.e. more negative?

 

IT won't change anything.. all your doing is bolting a different wheel on.... the wheels do not adjust geometry....

 

I thought increase in wheel and tyre width from would effect the way the tyre sits on the road?

 

Mmmm, not really, the tyre width might be slightly more, but surely not enough to affect anything.....

 

personally find that somewhere around the 1/2 to 3/4deg is more suited to road work and tyre wear.............

I'm gonna keep more of a close eye on the insides of the new tyres, don't mind sacrificing a bit of 'handling' to get more out of the tyres, I'll maybe bring them in to -0.75..
