Love the stance of the car as she sits now but getting slight rubbing on large dips in the rear even after shaving the rear fenders. Rear camber is -2.5 on the left and -2.6 on the right.

Thinking of getting a camber kit for the rear. Any thoughts on whether additional camber might solve the slight rubbing? Otherwise, I guess my only other choice would be to downsize to 265's in the rear.
Hi there,

Thanks for sharing! If you already have your rear fenders shaved/rolled, additional rear negative camber will likely be your best/only option to help alleviate the rubbing you are experiencing. The 18x10" ET25 is quite aggressive on the rear of the non-M E9X chassis, so it typically takes some effort to get it to work with a 275/35-18 tire without any rubbing.

Hope this helps!
