Default rear alignment issue

I also sorta posted this in the wheels forum to get their take on it.

Ok this has been on my mind since last week

I had the 17x11 rear zr1 rims added with the sumi 315s tossed on them.


I also have adjustable lower control arms.. if I adjust the pan hard rod and move the rear wheels over... will I need to adjust the lca's any to adjust the tires any?

Does the panhard rod evenly move the entire rear? or is it angled some and then the lca's need to be adjusted to even it out?

These questiosn arose from when I swapped out my stok 16x8 rims..the new rims were off to the left by about 1 inch.. I just thought with the same offsets etc and such that they would have been centered just fine.

anyways thanks for any input from you guys

The rearend in my car kept its fore/aft position when I centered it. I didn't need to mess with the LCA adjustments. It moves the axle evenly side to side. On a side note, the axle in my car was off to the left from the factory just like all the other Camaros I've owned. It's just more noticeable when you put the wide rubber out back.
