Just dial in enough negative camber to get the clearance you need.

I’ve practically given up on trying to get this thing aligned properly. It has been to 4 different shops, 1 3x and it’s even been to Steeda in Valdosta. None of them have been able to get it right. Hell, when I picked it up from Steeda it pulled so hard to the left I had to take it back, which was shocking to say the least. Everyone says “it won’t go any further”. I have printed out all of the posts pointing out how to do it right from here to no avail.

Looking at your pic you need to add negative camber, or move the top of the tire in. That’s how you’ll get clearance and stop cutting your tire.

That likely stems from a different issue unrelated to alignment. I had my car aligned a few times and it keeps pulling to the right, mechanic said it wasn't worth fixing because the chassis was lightly bent from a well-covered up fender bender.

My car has never been in an accident.

Do you think the -.5 that I’ve seen mentioned on here will be enough?
