Or rather if wider tires and wheels affects how it should be set.
Im asking because I have 255/45R18 on 18x9 Mustang fanblades and I notice I have to rotate every couple thousand because I seriously chew the inside edge of the tread on the front. Stock would have been P225/60R16 on 16x7. Im not talking about the physical alignment but how it is perceived by the tire. Im thinking the wider wheel is amplifying the camber and/or caster. Im just guessing here. Something that I had noticed while ago, but couldnt figure out was the Marauders are spec'd with less caster and more camber than mine which would be a base CV. Of course the range they give is so wide (+-0.75*) an MM could be set like mine and be 'in spec'. But anyway, Im wondering if that might be because they received wider tires. If it might be beneficial to have my car set to something close to the Marauder settings.
Base:
Caster 6.2*
Camber -0.4*
Marauder:
Caster 5.8*
Camber -0.5*
Police: (just 'cause)
Caster 6.0*
Camber -0.7
