I have a tadpole trike with 20” front tires instead of the stock 16”. I like the smoother feel of 20” tires but the trike flips easier now due to being higher off the ground. I want to lower the trike by cutting/bending/re-welding the cross member so it angles up to the tires instead of being flat across. This would make the tires point inward somewhat (negative camber)
I think it would look cool; are there any “oh crap don’t do that” reasons not to give this a try?
 
Steintrikes has about 4-5 degrees negative. My wifes USX delta has about 5 degrees negative in the rear wheels. The Steintrike has a full suspension and I am not sure of the camber when me (the old big guy) sits in the seat. Those wheels above look way more but I remember that trike and it has a huge width too!
