Question New 2018 Fit, noticed rear tires aren't totally vertical (negative camber)

Is this intentional or do I need to take the Fit into the dealer and have the tires aligned? I used a level and found that the bottom of the tire is out about 1" further outward than the top. I've read this is for better handling. Is there anything I need to be concerned about as far as uneven wear? Thanks for any help!

It's intentional, even the 2007-2008 GD3 Fits are like this.

Thanks. That's a relief. I've never heard of this before so I was really concerned when I saw it.

Normal, just stay on top of tire rotations.

step 1 = visit the sticky thread
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-...nce-guide.html

step 2 = search for "alignment", this will show oem alignment specs

(I'm feeling nice today, here ya go:

)

step 3 = out of spec? you'll need rear shims. my generosity knows no bounds today, as I will also look that up for you:

Normal. All Hondas are like that. Check them when you see one!
