Got a little rubbing with my Style 5s on....will a camber kit make a big difference?

[BadBlkE36]

I know that I am going to have way to much neg camber, but I am looking to stop the rubbing and keep it low. Has anyone used a camber kit to solve this? And does it work? Theoretically it should, and they all claim +1 to -3 inches of adjustment.

I have 205/40/17 tires on the rims.

Sorry....

I wrote inches above, but I know it is degrees

Your rubbing is on the fender lip(s), right? Your tire size sounds about right, but it sounds like you're running E39 fitment...? Not enough negative offset?

I think you're chasing the wrong "fix". Changing the camber enough to get the tires to clear the fenders is the wrong approach and will put a lot of long-term stress on the other suspension components, not to mention the tires themselves, and it will change the way the car handles - not for the better. If the wheels don't have the correct offset, you should bite the bullet and get some that do.

Otherwise, you're looking at having someone roll and "pull" the fenders to clear the tires. Looks good, but not cheap and will probably f-up your paint.

have you rolled your fenders? i was running that same setup with rolled fenders and i was fine. rolled fenders can be done properly if the paint is heated up to a warm temperature to prevent the paint from chipping.

yeah rolling if done right is a good way to go , guys around me do it for 40 a well, not a bad price and its done right

Going to try and get the fenders rolled this weekend.
