Question 67 Mustang Front Wheel Rub - Camber Settings?

Hello,
I just had my new wheels (17x8) and tires installed on my 67FB and I am having rubbing issues when I go over bumps in the front. I spoke to Phil at PS Wheels and he said there is a way to adjust the alignment to pull the front wheels in to eliminate the rubbing issues. All I need is about a 0.25". Any ideas on what is necessary to do this? I have the factory suspension with new Koni shocks I just had installed and lowered coils (previous owner).

Thanks in advance!

the only way i could think of would be to go more negative camber, but will scrub your tires out in no time.

Doing that would give you VERY extreme negative camber and the tires would wear very quickly. First see if you have shims behind the upper control arms. If you do and there's enough adjustment range in the LCA eccentric, you can pull the shims out and then realign the car.

What's the backspacing on the wheels and what front brakes do you have?

I would not alter the alignment just to make wheels fit.
