2006 S40 T5 Rear wheel slight Angle

Post by futuregeneration1 »

I have a 2006 S40 with a stock original 17" wheell with 205/17/55
The Rear wheels are perfetly alligned (No angle at all)

when i changed the wheels to an afermarket 18" Falken 225/18/40 is see a slight angle on the rear (The front is perfect straight) the angle is like this / \

According to the Aftermarket tire installed, this is normal.

Is this true? Volvo s40 has a slight negative camber on the rear (Just lik eBMW's)???

Need an advice, please.
1) should i do an allignement ? (I still would lik eto use the old 17" for winter use)
2)The Car is not lowered
3) Why is it straight with the 17 and angle on the 18's
