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.

To a certain degree, some negative camber will help. In fact, our stock suspension setup probably has some negaitve camber from the factory. A little more would help the car handle a little better, but will wear the tires faster.
