Rear Camber

Does anyone know what is the maximum negative camber we can adjust on the 997.1 tt? My new wheels are super aggressive and are slightly rubbing. I was thinking to either roll the rear fenders or have the shop max out the negative camber to clear.

You should be able to achieve just shy of -2.0 in the rear if your car is lowered (I recall yours is)

If your shop has the proper tool, rolling the fenders is a 1/2 hr. job, probably a good idea anyway but especially if you plan to track it. More camber on a street car will only wear the inside edges of your tires faster.

I probably wouldn't max out camber to achieve clearance. Maybe a different offset on the rims?

I may try to give it a tad more negative camber and roll the fenders a bit to see how it is. If not, I return these damn wheels as it is taking more than 5 months to get these freaking things to arrive and not fitment issues......
