Camber and wheel rubbing body

[texasengineer]

Hi Newbie here!!

I know that many recommend +2.5 deg camber for rear wheels and -1.5 degree camber for the front dominant wheel. Now my question: How do you keep the front wheel from rubbing against the body? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Rick

Rick,

Welcome to the Derby Worx forum !!

When running positive cant on the front dominate wheel, it will migrate into the body, this is normal. Just make sure you are prepping the contact area really good. I know it seems to go against all derby principals to have the wheel migrating into the body, but it is the best way to set up a car when rail riding.
