Yup, with 3.2* camber up front. I'm actually more worried about the rear than the front, as the front is tucked in rather nicely. I haven't done an event with them yet, but I put about 50 street miles on them without an issue at any corner. I think the 265 will be absolutely fine.

Yeah, with -1.6 camber and a 265, the 20mm more than makes up for 1.6 more positive camber...wouldn't ya think?

Pic doesn't quite do it justice, there is less than 1/8" between the tire and fender lip...

I think between -3 and -3.5 degrees. I'll check my alignment sheet when I get home.

Fenders are rolled, pretty well to the point of being pinched. Fenders are also pulled slightly.

I had to do a little bit of clearancing with a grinder and hammer on the inside of the fender where the fender meets the rear bumper. Nothing major, and not visible from outside the wheel well. It still rubs that spot a little bit on a big compression of the rear suspension (dip in the road for ex.), but not too bad.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Remember, however, that it's only 10mm on the outside, with the other 10mm on the inside. That's 1cm. . . 0.4". . . tiny. . . Do you have 1/2" of clearance currently?

I rub on the screw on the fender liner, but if I removed that I might have that much clearance. Roughly how does camber equate to clearance for the average lowered Z? 1.6 degrees of camber will put you about 1/2 inch closer to rubbing?

The 285/30 is over 1/2" shorter than the 265/35, so that screw may not be an issue. I think some simple geometry, which I can't do right now, would answer the question of how much further the top of the wheel sticks out when comparing 3.2* of camber to 1.6* of camber.

Thanks I am still debating on either 15 or 20mm spacers in the rear. I think I might do 15's then I will be close to your stance but with a little higher camber probably like -2.5ish.
