is it possible to go -1.8 camber with stock camber arms

i brought my wheels to tire traxx today and asked them to give the rear a bit of negative camber since the offset is pretty aggressive. but the tech told me that he can give me as much camber as i want but the top of the wheels would not move. that kinda threw me off because i told him that if it was negative camber then the top would be push in while the boottom would be push out.

now im just wondering if the stock camber arms would or could handle around -1.5to -2.0 camber.

also how much faster is it gonna eat the inside of my tires compared to -.5 camber.

please let me know as i want to bring it back to them sometime next week to redo the camber. thanks

the car is on uneven pavement so the left side looks more tucked than the right

so just to get it straight, the more negative the camber, the more tucked (pushed in) the top is right?

because the the tire traxx tech keep telling me that no matter how much negative camber he plugs in, it will still be the same spot on top. which is stupid because he said that if he pushes the bottom out 2 inches then the top will stay the same

Your tech has no sense of logic lol. I would go to another shop if I were you.

that and they cant seem to mount to tires on without removing the sensors. which pisses me off cause i spend 50 dollars on tpms angle adapters.

imma bring it back in a few days for them to bring the rear camber to about -2. and will ask for a printout.
