18x9.5 +15 RPF1 w/ 275/35/18 FRONT on stock camber anyone?
Simple question,
I'm looking for somebody that is/has run a 18x9.5 +15 rpf1 with 275/35/18 Hankook RS-3's or Star Specs in the front with around -1.0 camber.
I've heard the RS-3's run wide, and I know a few members have this exact setup but with over -2.0 camber which I can't get cuz I don't have camber arms right now.
Thanks.
edit: Worst case if I can't find anybody, I'll probably run 265/35's just to be safe.....

265's will be safer, but just get front camber arms. You tires will last a lot longer, and give you much better grip.

I dont have aftermarket camber arms up front and I'm running -2.1* of camber. Are you lowered or on stock height?
Anyways- my tires are 275/35/18 front on the RPF1 wheels you're talking about and I dont rub at all, though my fenders are rolled. I dont know about RS3 tires, but the Star Specs DEFINITELY run pretty wide. Mine are Vredestein Ultrac Sessentas, and I think their sizes are pretty true. If there was less camber up front they would be hitting my fenders for sure.
These pictures probably best illustrate what I'm working with:

No problem me thinks:
315 A6 on a 10.5" +15. Stock, unmolested front fenders. Still has factory fender wells, including every screw, tab, etc. No rub. Probably 1mm of clearance on the inside and less than that towards the fender. This was on "soft" springs, a conservative ride height, and -2.3ish camber.

I'm lowered on .6 Inches in the Front .8 inches in the rear.
I want to run 18x9.5 +15 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear.
I also want to run 255/40/18 in the front and 275/40/18 in the rear.
From what I have read some people have gotten away with no rub with this set up, whiles others have said they rub. Who do i trust?
I want those tires sizes so the my VDC doesn't go whack.

thanks so the fronts are goon and i should just expect some rub in the back, depending on tire manufacturer?
