Hi

can any trig experts tell me how to work out 1.5 deg on a 15" wheel ?

Soh Cah Toa won't work here. Try this instead. Rescued attachment camber_gauge.JPG

I, too, am lost with the maths involved. But I drew the appropriate triangle using my CAD program and let it calculate that the upper edge of the rim should be offset approx. 10 mm from the lower edge to yield 1.5 degrees of camber on a 15 inch wheel.

Thanks guys

Looks like the 30mm i currently have then is too much
