You cant.

There is no way to adjust the rear camber.

Unless you worked it out & redrilled the inner arch where the top of the shock pops through, that would enable you to pull the wheel back in.

my old one @ 80mm rear

Hello duke mate, iv sorted the rubbing now, it was the rear drum catching itself, worried bout the angle of my rear wheels now,lol

Mark, would the position of the spring affect it eg is i jacked it up undid a few bits then twist the spring round abit. In the pictures above, the wheel kerb side looks straighter than the one in the middle of road

Pass side will look straighter, but thats only because its taken straight on, unlike the two of the drivers side.

Both sides were the same.

The spring should sit in the seat straight, but i'm guessing you would have spotted this when you fitted them.

Looking at your pics the difference is minimal & i wouldnt worry about it.
