Hi ephatchers i was hoping you guys could chime in on this. I went 5 lug on my 02 ep3 and now my right front wheel is cambered out 2.6 degrees after an alignment i also purchased the spc camber bolts but it only helped a little.
Any other suggestions will be big help thanks

sounds like you've got a bent knuckle or control arm. Get under there and do some investigation.

Could be the mounts on the knuckle that's bent

make sure the camber bolt is in the right position on the strut, if you put it on the top hole on the strut your camber will be way off, if you put it on the bottom hole on the sturt you can turn it so it rolls on the cam to angle your strut to give or take away camber. also if you have upper adjustable camber plates make sure it didn't slide to one side by accident. see if you did you fully remove the strut from the car?
