According to Bridgestone, the tread width of the P195/50R15 RE-01R is 7.2 inches. Thus, I sure hope you meant 7 1/8" instead of 6 1/8". I will try to get to Bridgestone and measure the tread width myself tomorrow.

You are right, of course, The camber bolts only affect the front. I was going to get alignment shims for the rear. The stock rear camber already has negative camber (1.3 to 1.5 degrees?), so I thought I'd just get a 0.5 degree shim. Although, I'm not clear if the shims increase or decrease camber.
