Well, if you actually care about performance at all, you should be in the -1 to -1.3 deg camber range up front (obviously you would need a pyrometer during hard driving to be sure but that's a very good starting range). That camber isn't going to help you very much (this isn't a MacStrut car that you can crank 2-3 deg camber in and have it handle good).

I honestly don't think you could gain much by pulling on the stock FD fender but you can always give it a try. There is a difference between running a wheel setup for auto-x and running a wheel setup on the street. Rarely at auto-x do you have much surface undulation.

There's really not much to do except drive around on them and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply. Performance is top priority. I am not going to try to run insane camber to make them fit. If that was my only concern I would have stretched tires over the wheels and called it a day.

Thanks for the camber range, we were thinking -1.5 would be the max but I will start out at -1.3 and go from there.

BTW, since I haven't said it, the wheels+tires look GREAT.
