Camber will be required for both, but the reduction in unsprung weight, cheaper tires, and the rotatable squared setup will prove very effective
That is my plan, the rear (or the whole car) is maybe 5mm lower than stock. When i mounted my winter wheels and tires (17x7.5 225/45 all round) there is loads of room in the back, even asked the mechanic at the DIY shop i go to, if he thinks that 17 245s ET40 will fit in the rear. After looking around and feeling about, most likely yes.

But i will go for 235s all round on 17x8.5 ET40 first, when the time comes for new track tires, 245s will be considered.
