i already had my fenders rolled before i had put the new wheels on. it wouldnt hurt to get yours rolled before you do though, never hurts to have a little bit of extra room just incase

-2.5 all the way around.. i have rear camber arms and toe bolts but theyre not installed yet, i didnt see the need to put them in when my rear camber would really only be .2 more and my toe was back within spec

ya .2 my camber on the car right now is at -2.5 and i wanted to run -2.3 in the rear but its close enough for me. the camber arms can allow up to 4 degrees of adjustment but i didnt see the need to put them on since i was only wanting to go from -2.5 to -2.3 if i was more than a degree off from where i wanted to be then i would have installed the camber arms

is there a reason why you only wanted -2.3 camber specifically though? i think oem spec is -1.75

sorry for the questions but im getting the 2.2.2 in +12 and want to get as close to OEM spec as i can with a fender roll without rubbing or wearing tires too fast

with the width of the wheels and the size of the tires that i chose to run, running a little bit more negative camber than oem spec helps keep the wheels from hitting the fenders. If i were to run closer to the -1.75 or so then my wheels would more than likely rub on the fender even with the rear having a mild roll. As it sits right now, i have maybe a one finger gap between the tire and the inside lip of the rear fender

hmm thanks..well im planning on going with coilovers and having no finger gap all around...and rolling rears as flat as i can get them...you think it would be smart to run those wheel specs with the 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear and have camber around -2? or should i just go +22?
