Hey guys. Just noticed that the rear wheels of my touring is slightly facing inwards. Question: do rear wheels of tourings have a negative offset? Thanks! :D

Which part of the wheel is facing inwards? top, bottom, front or back?

If the tops are leaning in, then you have nagative camber, is the car lowered? if so this is the cause. You can get eccentric bushes to help, or modify the rear beam.

If you lower these cars, the camber on the back wheels goes.

There are kits to adjust it. But I like the look on mine so I wont be. 8)
