allegro Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 I am running CR500's on 13'' rims. What is the recommended camber angle for the fronts. I am running too much at the moment and using up rubber on the inside edge. Andy Mac C7 GON 😬 Team Langoustine. Hard Core Prawn here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Westie Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Approx 1/2 degree negative The car in front is a Westfie1d  Edited by - Fast Westie on 27 Feb 2003 09:31:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Anyone know what an R500 runs on these tyres as that might be a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I would have thought more than 0.5 -ve. Just guessing but x-ply ACB10's usually run with about 0.5deg -ve and radial 032R Yoko's often need up to 2 or even 3 degrees -ve for hard track work. CR500's are radials so I would guess 1.5 -ve would be a good starting point. Edited by - Alex Wong on 27 Feb 2003 10:41:53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain chaos Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Alex, I know this might sound daft but with this 0.5-ve how do you find your front ACB's wear? evenly? Dave K and I are going to check my set up but I noticed last year my tyres seem to wear unevenly (more on the inside) and yet Clive said my car was set up with the 0.5-ve.

julians Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I have my 32r's at -2.5 degrees, I checked them with a pyrometer after a few laps and they showed even temperature across the tyre. Front feels quite planted at well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesA Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I thought I have seen several posts that stated that CR500s did quite well with ACB type (0.25 degrees negative) cambers. I hope so because I am getting ready to put 0.25 degree camber plates on the rear and adjust the front for 0.25 degrees negative to use ACB-10s on the track and CR500 on the road.

Peter Carmichael Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Wearing out the inside edge is usually from toe out, but it can be correct from a handling point of view. If you use your car for going in straight lines a lot of the time, you can find yourself having to compromise between weird tyre wear and cornering behaviour.

rgrigsby Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Agree with JamesA I have been running a radial set-up on my car and it isn't ideal for the CR500's. Miraz has been running with a crossply set-up with much less camber and he seems to get much more even wear on CR500's Cheers Rob G www.SpeedySeven.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
