Need help with Niche wheels fitment

[Mogrem alain]

Rear camber factory is -1.4 to -1.6.
Did they give you the settings they read with their alignment machine?
If not, find a different shop.

I’m going to find a new one for sure.
They did the alignment but wouldn’t do camber so i got into an argument with them so I didn’t get the my current alignment settings printed paper unfortunately

My 20X10.5 wheels have a + 45 offset and I think it perfect with 305 tires. A 5mm difference shouldn't be that big a deal. Your pictures are too close to get a good perspective of how they look. . I think your car probably looks pretty good. Show some more pics from a distance with a few angles.

I have a 305 35 zr20 tire with a 10.5 with wheel and 50mm offset and it sits almost exactly even with the fender.

It’s night time where i live now im going to take more pictures in the morning
The car looks almost perfect
In the front it’s perfect but from the back it is poking from above about 3 to 5 centimeters but it does not rub so I’m trying to find a way to make it sit inside the fender wall so that it looks perfect

I have to say that I really do not like a lot of poke but your car looks just plain mean. And I mean “mean“ in a good way. Do want want of course, but maybe live with it for a little while and see if it grows on you.

So the offset is depending on available options that the manufacturer typically provides.

that being said we have done 10.5 ET 40 before and it works. You can do a few things.

1 you can change the tire down one size which helps with the overhang.

You can also adjust rear camber a bit to tuck the top of the tire in a bit.

What is an acceptable camber that won’t make the car less grippy and does not cause alot of uneven tyre wear?

-1.4 to -1.6 is the factory range

 

[Paul@PKAUTODESIGN]

Factory is 1.5-1.6 typically with what I have seen on our alignment rack.

Going to -2 to -2.1 is fine and works fine without excessive wear

So I figured what’s the problem and it is indeed the camber and thats why the left tyre is poking more but unfortunately I couldn’t find an alignment shop in my area that does camber to mustangs.
All of them just say that the car does not have any camber adjustment

here are my current alignment settings and clearly the poke is from the camber
I will try to find an alignment shop and set both to 1.6 which should be perfect fitment

The real problem is the ET value of your wheel. That should have been at least 45 and preferably 50. So I don't know who sold you those wheels but the first thing I'd try is getting them returned.

If all else fails then this might be a solution:

Adding more camber will eat your tires sooner, which you then may want to replace with a brand that is smaller. Some brands are actually physically wider than others, with the same official size.

Alot of wheels including this one come in only certain sizes and offsets and i saw many running it with bigger tyres and that’s why i asked here just to make sure
Also I’m not adding more camber I’m just going to align the car to the proper alignment settings

Thats wrong the S550 has a IRS there is a camber adjustment that can be done its not much but they can make some adjustments.

Now since the left is sticking out more then the right ( I cant see the screen shot you sent) I would want you to make sure the rear is dead even. There have been cases where the rear is shifted to the left or right by a factor of 1/4" (5 mm)

Once i find an alignment shop I’ll have them make sure that the the alignment (especially the camber) is exactly the same on both sides

Sounds like a plan.
