    Default rear tire towed?

    I was looking at my car tonight I put on some tenzo 17" wheels and for some reason my passenger rear tire is towed a bit. not like \ but you can tell by looking at it. any ideas why?

    I am just kind of confused, should I drive on it like this?

    stock suspension on it, I just added wheels

    its barely tower at a 90 degree angle I would say its at an 85 degreee angle, I took off the wheel and tryed to reseat it...no luck



    is there something that will fix it?

    That would be static camber, yo. It's either because a: that's how it's aligned b: because the suspension bound up when you raised/lowered the car to install the mad rimz or c: some combo of a&b.

    Toe looks more like this...
    Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org
