All the answers are here... and someone said you don't need camber plates unless you want more than -1.3* up front.

I know, stretchNpoke gave me everything I need. I just want to get a second opinion.
I mean, when he gave me the re-barreling suggestion, I originally wanted to bring the fronts (19x8.5") to 19x11", not 19x12". I'm just trying to rub as little as possible, and I rub in the rear now with the 19x10"... Granted, I am low on my coils and I do need my fenders rolled.

As for camber, I think I'm gonna have to go to -2.5*, per stretchNpoke's suggestion. Then I would need plates.

I'm calling VAC next week to try an get my fender rolled. I just don't wanna go to 19x12"s and them not fit still, without me "shaving" the rear fender..I didn't wanna shave it, just roll it.

I guess I'll just go for it.

Are camber plates hard to put on? I mean, I have a legit jack + stands. I guess I could have a local friend/shop max out the stock camber first. Then I could send the two fronts to Rotiform/FLOSS to get re-barrled to 12"...put em on...at that point if they don't fit, I'll have to get some camber plates. I'm not driving the car this winter anyway so I'll be able to have it sit without wheels for the season, need be.

I haven't been driving it the past few days because its rubbing so bad (as you can see). I contacted VAC Motorsports about ordering a spanner for the KWs, heard back from them, but still waiting to hear back confirming if they're sending them out an whatnot.

You can see theres a little camber in the rear already.

Any suggestions?






Looking at those pics.. and ones by the previous owner.. here http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=554056

It looks to me like he had 225s or 215s on the front with spacers..
