Otherwise looking good. Hoping to order a square setup before the group buy cut off here.
One question. Can 245s be fit up front if I have about 1.5 degrees of camber? Thinking of doing 245 square. Thanks!

The 245/35/18 street tire would fit up front with negative 1.5 degrees of camber, as long as the spring perch is above the tire. The KW suspension would probably give you trouble if you have that suspension on your car right now, as the V-shaped springs and lower spring perch would not clear the wheel and tire. If you have suspension with linear springs, just make sure the spring perch is above the tire and there won't be any rubbing issues onto the strut.
If you are planning on putting a R-compound tire in the front, you would need a 3mm spacer in order to push the wheel and tire out from the strut tube to clear.
