Negative Camber from factory?

Hello guys,

I recently upgraded from 19 inch to 20 inch wheels. Everything looks good except that I noticed something a little off ( to me)
I never noticed the car was running a negative camber with 19 inches but now I see it. It’s not noticeable for most people but as you all know we look for the fine details.

So my question is: F15 runs a negative camber from factory or something is off with my car that needs to be checked?
On the highway the car drives in a straight line with no vibration...

Your input is greatly appreciated...

yes the f15 has negative camber from factory, more in the rear than the fronts.

Thank you guys for the responses.

I guess I have a more specific question now....

Are the camber specifications different based on wheel size?
The reason i'm asking again is because i recently upgraded to 20" and I didn't notice the negative camber on the 19". I understand the total wheel and tire circumference would still be the same, but tire width has changed....

no wheel size specific alignment specs. its probably just ur eye playing tricks on u. the bigger wheel has a bigger face thus the camber is more pronounced.
