Alright guys, new here!

My name's Kieran and I have a red 1.4 8v Corsa B, nothing special, just some lows and wheels
Recently bought a set of 7j wheels, and I had to camber the rears to get them in the arches with minimal arch rolling. I used two M10 washers on each bolt, fitted the wheels and I've noticed that the wheels are toeing in quite badly. Is there anything I can do to solve it? I could get shims but I don't think it'll camber as much as id want it to be.
Any help would be appreciated!

Will they camber them enough though? I've only come across ones that give you a maximum of 1.5 degrees, and im currently on about 2-3 degrees at the minute.

Washers aren't an accurate way of doing it to be fair. Any slight differences in size/thickness or how it's sat can throw out the toe/camber

Get the washers out and get some proper camber shims in as how you have it is dangerous imo. The shims need to be wedge shaped which the washers aren't so will reduce surface clamping

Also proper shims like the eibach ones on eBay you can adjust the toe in/out as well as camber
