Tryo, is it my imagination or do your rear wheels have some camber in them? (right word?)
Hi Brian.
I'm not sure what picture you are looking at, but I had the car competely aligned after lowering it and there shouldn't be any camber. Do you also see it on my web site pictures? http://speedster.hopto.org

Actually I've been told that you want some camber (don't remember if it's positive or negative) where the top leans in a bit. That's to be expected after lowering your car - especially if you have a swing-axle rear end (I don't remember what yours is).
Hi Lane.
I have IRS. Do you see what Brian thought he saw? I don't know if it's supposed to have camber or not, but I took it to the most reputable alignment shop in town, so I'm pretty sure its correct.

Even with IRS, I believe you want just a little - which is exactly what I think I saw in the shot where you are backing into the parking place. Looks fine to me, but I'm not an expert.
Yes, that's where I thought it was...in the shot where he was backing up and the wheels seemed to lean in a bit at the top.
Reason I was asking is that that could be the answer to my tire/wheel problems. According to my measurements the tire/wheel combination I want to put on should fit but when I mock it up it looks like it will rub the fender. But, the mock up is static and therefore the car has not settled into its proper stance. And if it does not have the rear wheels leaning in a bit at the top now, then perpahs I can do that and have the tires fit. I only need about a 1/4 inch or so.
