Once you've set your camber, just make equal turns on each pivot ball. Same number of turns left and right. Also make sure the left and right wheels are same distance to the center of the chassis !

May try the shims too. The Speedmind wheels I'm using are very close to touching the steering rod ends.
Yes, the Speedminds will rub the steering ball joints... What I do is cut out hex shapped extra lexan pieces that you throw away when you do your bodyshell... Trace them out so that they are the same shape as the hex wheel adaptors on the wheels... Use them as spacers in the front wheels like what redsand suggested. You should not have any problems with the wheels rubbing.

So when you set the trackwidth to 198 mm, when using these spacers, the trackwidth will come to around 199 or 200 mm.
