Default s60r Stock Wheel Angel?

Does the s60r come stock with the rear wheels angled in a bit? I thought my eyes might have been playing a trick on me until my friends said something about it too.

I am just a bit concerned since I know that the delta-link rear suspension is susceptible to this (as I had the same problem with my 850 Turbo a few years back).

Thanks,

that is called negative chamber, all cars have it to some extent excluding cars such as classic Volkswagen beetles. its intended to aid in traction while cornering. too much however will result in uneven tire wear. if you look really hard and can barley tell then it's likely to be perfect. (when you turn your wheels flex in slightly so if they were normally perfectly straight, suddenly in the corner they would be on their edge and you would spin out and crash) so thank negative chamber for yours and all of our lives! yay! negative chamber EST.1960
