Just to confirm what everyone else has been saying about the offset arms... I threw on a set two days ago and gained almost exactly 1* of neg camber from offset delrin bushings. I picked them up from a buddy that gave up on his STU 135i I have no idea what brand they were or where he got them. Did yours have a set screw to prevent rotation?

I also pressed out the liquid filled bushings from a set of new front lower arms and will be throwing those on the next time I get bored.

I had the same tire rub issues that you did on the inner fender and had to bring the front end up a few MM. So much for the corner balance.

I totally forgot that the OE bushings were liquid filled and the 2nd one I was pressing out exploded like a vile water balloon full of filth. Remember kids... safety glasses.

Sitting at -3.2* up front -2* in back with .125" toe out on the front and about .0625" toe in on the rear.
