But would extra negative camber be worse or better for tire wear if I only rub lightly once and a while?

Worse. It will have its cost. Additionally, a rough thumbrule you can use is.... for every inch you lower your car, you will produce about 1* of negative camber.Originally Posted by Rovert

OK....so what I'll do today is have them maintain the camber I'm at now....since I only get occasional rub and my next tires will be 255 instead of 265. But align everything else to spec. Does that sound logical?

Be advsed, that with your setup, you'll never see the BMW spec's.

Then he drove it and fine tuned it from experience in feeling it!

Are those the final readings? Why would he leave toe like that on the right front?

This was the print out after. He was saying how the car is lowered the camber will be more than normal which you said already. After that print out he test drove and put it back on the ramp for another minor adjustment using just his senses.

Putting mine with your's as a comparison.

Wow.....he didn't have to do a whole lot. Didn't do anything to camber or caster and changed toe like 1/8"
I would love to know where the specs come from....as ours are different.

I took some pics while it was being done....I have no idea about what types of machines are used for alignment. But it seemed pretty high-tech to me! LOL
He had to torch a ceased adjustment screw....
And this is what was used:
