Just had it checked and both rear cambers are 2.39 degrees
The guys here said that it will wear the inner edges... but in their experience witb normal cornering loads the tyre will wear evenly.... looki g at the wear pattern being totally equal..... im inclined to agree :-)

OTE=maxcichon;672168]I think it's 1.4 degrees, rear. 2 cm? (.8") seems a bit much. Do you have stock wheels and tires? Spacers?[/QUOTE]

Ok, but you may have wear issues. How do the fronts look? Same? Less?
If you do a search here, MikeR (in the states) makes adjustable camber arms. For some reason, (I suspect Germanic engineering arrogance) there is no factory adjustment possible in the rear. There is + - .5 degree available for the front after installation of some "Collision Repair" bolts.
Best of luck!

Re: CFIRE COUPE rear wheel camber
The Crossfire rear camber spec is -0.6° to -1.6°...... your 2.39° will wear out your tires much quicker. I am guessing that is negative camber(-2.39°)...

Get the adjustable rear arms from Mike or you will be sad. If your car is lowered you will definitely need the factory kit for the fronts to get in spec. I did both on my lowered SRT and have absolutely no tire wear problems on a correctly aligned footprint.

YEP, you're correct....
However, the wear pattern is totally even across the rear tyres. :-)
