Aggressive 19" Front Camber to Avoid Rubbing?

Got my new wheels on and I went aggressive on my offsets. 19x8.5+40 with a PSS 245/35R19. My old setup at 19x8.5+50 worked fine but was weak sauce. The car isn't super low.

Did the front radiator mod and solved the clearance issue on the liner up front but i'm starting to shave tiny bits of tire off on both sides of the car with the front fenders where it comes near to the side marker.

Currently I have a GT2 alignment with the front running -1 degree of camber.

PWDRHOUND seems to be suggesting that -2.0 to -2.5 for the street would help clearance on aggressive setups.

Anyone had problems (or good results) with more aggressive front camber on their streetable cars? Will it help me with the clearance i'm after?

First things first, DAMN that car looks hot with those wheels!!!

Now to your problem, are you rubbing on the side marker area or that unrolled fender area I can see on your pics?

The unrolled area in the pics. The drivers side isn't unrolled (doesn't look like it's "caught" the tire yet like the pics on the passenger side) but it is still shaving some tire as well.

Why not roll the rest of that fender then first? I had the same issue as you and managed to practically roll the entire fender. I can maybe grab a pic tomorrow and post it.

Did you roll the fender yourself?

Try to bulge that area of the plastic out with a heat gun.
