Hey TM3'ers just wondering what everyones running as of specs for their camber in the rear? I just got my rims, camber kit and alignment done and I'm running 17x8 35offset w/ 205/50/17 in the front and 17x9 38offset w/ 225/45/17 in the rear. The real questions is what's everyones specs.
In the rear Im running -2.8 on the right and -2.9 on the left and I know I may get inner wear but that's fine with me. Is anyone running wider rims with similar negative camber?
Thanks in advance for any input!

Lol nearly identical specs as me (wheels)
No rubbing for you with the 225 45s in the rear? If so I should be able to run a little less than that.

Unless you're on the track frequently, why do you have that much negative camber? Also, how does this compare to stock? I'm actually hoping to get LESS camber on my rears to prevent asymetric wear during daily driving, and to just adjust it for track days.

17x9 et 38 with 225s wouldn't 'fit' without that much camber.

• 225/45/17 fits no problem only thing is my tires aren't stretched which I'm probably going to get done for a little extra room with a loaded car. I kind of wish I went a down a size with my tires but was to scared it might be a little over board.
• as Dave said they wouldn't "fit" and it's purely for looks. I know I'll have haters but it's ok it's superb on turning lol!
• My fenders have been rolled. No rubbing what so ever. But I did rub before I got an alignment and had 2 sets of wheels and subs loaded in my car. It only rubbed in the rear with the plastic liner on big bumps.

I am now at 2.0 all around. Going to drop my rear a bit more on Saturday and then I will measure what I am at using this method http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325556

specs at 17 x 8 17x9 et 38 all around with 215/40
No rubbing in the rear with either amounts of camber.

Damn -3.4 and -4.7 that's a lot. Don't want to do any crazy negative camber with those new wheels yet?
