This might sound like a juvenile question, but I have seen rims on cars that seemed to be "angled" on the car. Intead of the tire being perpendicular (90 degrees) in relation to the road, the tire is on a slant of like 85 degrees. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I have noticed this trend on alot of Nissans, like the skylines and 240's. If anyone could enlighten me on this subject I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

When the wheel is leaning in, it is called negative camber. To a certain degree, it will help the car handle better. But, it is harder on the tires and will make the inside edge wear out faster than the outside edge. Positive camber is the opposite. Wheels lean out, can handles ****ty and the outside edge wears faster than the inside edge.
