    No idea, you'd have to put a camber gauge on the hub, run the suspension through it's travel, and see what it is.

    PS--your calculations are wrong, the upper and lower arms are unequal length and also must allow for the placement of the spindle itself in relationship to the height of the upright. Calculations would have to include all of this, plus issues like ball joint placement in relation to the A-Arm and length of the stud in the ball joint. I just through out 7 degrees as a max number. Clearance has to also allow for sidewall flex and edge rolling on the tire!!! 7 degrees would allow plenty of room for camber gain, tire flex, edge rolling, caster gain, and any bump steer issues.

    Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
