      Just how badly are those inner shoulders worn? Any cord showing yet?

      Can you measure what your cambers actually are? All you need is something like a digital angle finder that has a bubble level in it, or even a regular level and a small scale (and a calculator with trig functions).

      I'd be a lot more comfortable suggesting something slightly more aggressive than the less-negative end of the range I mentioned above in post #8 if I knew that your cambers were a lot more negative than that now.



      IMHO, you really need more front tire than a 225-wide with a 1350-ish max load rating. I'm thinking at least 245/45's even for the upcoming LS motor, and that will also call for wider wheels than 7".

      I don't have any tools like that. ;( an the wires are not showing yet, the true wear is from the inside side wall to about two inch tho the middle of the tire.... An after the ls motor goes in an I get my new ride tech coilovers an their kit on I'll be going with 18x9 up front an a 245/40. Tire. But any numbers that would help put the cental of the true down more would help! Sorry I don't have the tools to help the tires I'll be using will only be ran one season so about 10,000 miles
