    I have an OME kit currently installed as well as their upper control arms. When I bought the kit a few months back I didn’t have the budget for new wheels and tires so I’m still using my factory wheels and 265/70/16s.

    The UCAs are the newest addition and after my last alignment I noticed the Tacoma still has a ton of positive camber to it.

    I’m assuming that even with the new control arms that maybe the factory wheels still come too close to the spindle/UCA hence why they didn’t adjust the camber more.

    I have the opportunity to nab some wheels that are 16 x 8 with zero offset. My question is will this zero offset wheel benefit me before I try and get this thing aligned again? From what I understand factory wheels are a 7 inch with 25mm offset.

    Would love some advice as I’d love to find the cheap alternative to this issue! (Bonus points if anyone knows a reliable shop in the Scranton PA area)

    An alignment is still recommended with changing wheel offset.

    100% I’m just wondering if the factory wheels aren’t allowing me to get the camber back to normal.

    I understand you may not like the look of positive camber on the truck but unless you absolutely hate a little bit of positive camber then find a reputable off-road alignment shop in your area that can increase your negative camber. Google "Tacoma positive camber" and the first thing that comes up is a thread from tacomaworld dating back to 2017, same thing under images is a bunch of stock Tacoma’s / slightly modified, and they still have a bit of positive camber. Your printout looks great, long story short. Unless you have significant wear on the outside of your tires, or the vehicle is handling poorly I would leave it as is.
