Yup I seen that one last year or when I first got my car haha, I thought just the rears had serious work since he was running that et22 or whatever the rear offset was. Hmm

Get one of Ian's reds and test fit , It takes like 10 minutes. You'll see what i mean.

There's a great deal local to me so I want to take advantage. My rears aren't rolled. Currently have a 225/45/17 hooiser r7 back there right now on a 17x7.5 et38 wheel just clearing with no rubbing. And in the front I got room for days to the fender, I'm actually close to my strut so pushing out wouldn't hurt.

I had 225/40/18s on the rear, but keep in mind those were on 9.5s. So the stretch on those probably gave me the room I needed. Use willtheyfit.com and fitmywheels.com for fitment type questions. According to willtheyfit.com, you will have approximately 12.5mm more clearance than I had, but you have 1.5* less camber. Each degree camber is I believe around 5-6mm in clearance. With not having your fenders rolled you'll most likely rub. You won't know until you test fit them.

You shouldn't have any troubles with the fronts if you truly have -3* camber. Those wheels will poke 3mm more than mine and I didn't have any issues at all. When I had them on my air suspension I could tuck rim on the fronts, so they were definitely inside the fender lip.

Test fit done! Front cleared by miles!! The rears need to be shaved for sure and half degree of camber added i think.

The M3 wheel setup should be a few mm less aggressive than my last wheel setup. But, my rear quarters are pulled a good bit though. If you can test fit them I would at least try it, with the camber settings you have it should probably be close.

What's max negative camber I can get from the rear?

[kobeballer96]

Front only rubs at full lock

I got -3.5* on stock suspension, but I was also a lot lower than you are. Now I've got Megan racing camber arms and am at -4.5* at ride height
