possible to have even camber in rear with this setup

I am trying to do my research but need some assistance. I plan to lower my car pretty low on stance coilovers. The wheel specs are 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 +5 all around. Tires are 225/35/20 and 245/35/20. I am trying to avoid having excessive negative camber, especially in the rear. My rear fenders are rolled. Is it possible to have my wheels in the rear to have almost positive camber. I do not like the excessive negative camber look and am trying to avoid it as much as possible.

I am running SPC rear camber kit with toe bolts in the rear.

K, just a wild guess here as i'm not too familiar with the 1st gen but for a moderate drop your SPC should be able to bring the rears back to spec.

^the problem he would most likely run into I would guess is that there is literally no space to get it back to spec, but I'm not expert with how far you can pull a fender/how much room you can get out of it. Also it really depends on how low he is planning on going.

i plan on slamming the car when i get my coilovers. So i'm guessing 2.5" or more. I want to dial in as much positive camber as I can.

With a 2.5" drop or more in the rear, we can't even get close to -1 deg camber let alone 0 deg utilizing the SPC kit. The camber arm will allow for it, but the toe setup is the limiting factor.
As I see it, the only way is to figure out how to add toe adjustment by replacing the radius arm with an adjustable one or losing the spring bucket for an arm with more adjustment.
I know this because I've run into the same issue with only about a 2.25" drop.
The best my alignment guy can do is right about -2.0 deg camber (with proper toe)
In reality, going more positive than about -1.5 to -2.0 deg is actually going to decrease our handling. But for aesthetic purposes, I understand the look. Let us know how it turns out for you.

What do you mean almost positive camber? Why would you want that? Even being at or close to zero is not ideal in any situation.

If you mean you prefer to have it within manufacture specs, I would say no seeing that you have the wrong tire profile series for 20" wheels. You could probably get it in the -1.7 to -2.2 range since you stretch tires though.

For reference, I have 19x9.5 +7 and 19x10.5 +3 on 245/35 and 275/35 tires with -2.8/-2.7 camber. My fenders are rolled pretty flat. I don't rub in any situation except when I'm angling in and out of driveways or when I have more than 2 passengers in the car. My drop is just enough to where I don't have any wheel gap.

Your front shouldn't be an issue. Your rears might be.
