Do I need camber kit to install 20'' Vossen 083??

As the title, do I need to put camber kit for 20'' Vossen 83 on my G37x AWD coupe?

What happens if I don't put camber kit?

What if I put 19'' Vossen 83 on my car? Still need camber kit?

Thank you guys!!!

not for putting wheels on, its only when you lower your car.

if your put 19's or 20's is not going to make a difference with the proper tire they end up being the same size. you only need camber kits when you lower your car excessively. with a moderate drop your car can most likely be properley aligned back to factory spec without a camber kit. but when you lower your car more than moderately you will need a camber kit to straighten your wheels out, if you don't you will wear through the inside corner of your tires

Actually, you won't get anywhere close to nominal spec if you drop and don't have a camber kit. You can only adjust the camber on the rear, and it's a very tiny adjustment. Any kind of lowering on the front end will put you in negative territory for sure. Here's my before and after with stock wheels and Eibach Pro Kit:

Front before: -1.75 camber, 1/16" toe out
Front after: -1.75 camber, 3/32" toe in

Rear before: -2.4 camber
Rear after: -1.9 camber


I'd like to have less negative camber, but I can live with these settings.

it depends on how low ur drop is. you are not going to have a perfect alignment. but you will be close to the high end of camber or slightly above if your at a moderate drop front specs the high end camber is like -1.2 and rear high end is like -1.8
