I have already removed the camber pins and added M3 tension rods and lower control arms.
My question is, will Dinan camber plates likely give me the required additional camber to tuck the wheel in? Also, how much will the camber plates raise the front of the car? I actually wouldn't mind raising it a bit at the front to even it up with the rear and add clearance.
Lastly, my car is only used for street driving, so how will adding the Dinan camber plates to my setup effect my tyre wear on the front? I don't want to end up shredding the inner edges of my tyres.
Thanks

For reference, I'm running ARC8s (17x8.5) with Dunlop Z2 tires (245/40/17).
I'm running a 5mm spacer (effectively ET +35) with -3.6* degrees of camber and rolled the inner fender lip of the fender and I finally have no rubbing.
Granted, I'm lowered close to 1.5 to 2" or so from stock suspension.
