I am running 18x10 et25 with 285/30/18 Hoosier A6, 285/35/19 Hankook RS3, and clear the front with -3.0 camber. I did slightly roll the front until it still contacted the liner. I also bent the front tab in.

It depends on how low you want to go. With the KW's, the lower you go, the closer the spring will get to the tire. You should be good with a 5mm spacer on the front. If you need more space than that, you are probably WAYYY too low.

Maybe someone in your area has a 5mm and a 10mm that you can test out before you buy.

I'm running a similar setup, except I have the monobloc 6-pot Brembo (still needs 5mm spacer to clear it).
18x9.5 ET35
5mm spacer front
10mm spacer rear
275/35/18 NT01's
Rolled/pulled front fenders
-3.5 front camber; -3.0 rear
I still get very slight contact on my fenders on hard/high speed turns on the track.
NT01's are just fat tires!



Same wheels with 265/35/18 NT05 and 10mm spacer front and 18mm rear and I have no rubbing at all.

I have KWV2's and APEX 9.5 ET35 wheels. My autox tires are Hankook Z214's 275/35/18. I have to use a 3mm spacer to clear the adjustment collar on the front coilover. I am at 13.5" in the front with -2.7 camber. As you said the higher you go the less negative camber you need to use to clear the fender.

** I do however recomend rolling the front fenders. I once tried test fitting a new set of RS3's and put some nice slices in a brand new tire. Once they are rolled even if you rub a little it will not matter. Good luck

Is your experience above before or after fender roll?

Was your spacer needed because of contact with the 275 tires or the rim instead?

Thanks for the info!
