Depends on what you would refer to as "normal camber"

There are several people w/ fully flared fronts and flared rears running 255s all around with those offsets. It's aggressive as hell, but I've seen it on these boards several times. You can go all the way to -3 degrees camber and be completely fine handling wise. You can go even more if you're just trying to fit them. Not my thing, but it can work if desired.

Normal camber to me would be whatever comes from factory with no more than .2 degrees of variation. I curently am running -3 in the back and it's fine for me but for some people they might think it's too much. I know 17x9.5 +32 is fittable with 255's all around on stock body but it all depends on the person's taste and how they see their car in their own eyes.

All depeneds on how much you flare your fenders or how flat you roll your fenders. There is no set amount of clearance.

Well im speaking in terms of maximum clearance in comparison to just getting wide fenders.

I think right now my fronts are flared to the point that they almost get wavy and I would say I have another 10-12 mm of clearance.

My Sh***ttt dontt fitt

18x8+35 in the front with 225/35-18
18x9+35 in the rear with 265/35-18

All fenders are rolled rear tab relocated and rear bumper is trimmed and thats about it so far.

Fronts fit perfect but rears need work....Anyone have any idea how I can get these to fit without pulling the rear fenders? Or do I need to get rear overfenders/pull?

I tried adjusting both camber adjustment bolts on the bottom control arm and it still didnt clear (Dont worry I marked off where it was at and put it back)

I have no idea what my current camber spec is so dont bother asking

^ run a 255 or 245 in the back and add more camber! Plus if you lower your car some more you can get more camber. Maybe get rear adjustable camber joints? If I were you I would just run a 255, more camber, and slightly flare the front and rear fenders.
