I ran a square 255 setup using 4 rear AP2V1s on my '01. I believe they are 17x8.5 +55 +65, and I didn't have any issues with my unmodified fenders. I rubbed VERY lightly backing out of my driveway (over a curb) at full lock.

They are 8.5 +65 stock, but obviously if you did the 5mm spacer up front to clear the hub, then the front fitment would be +60 now.

I have no problem getting -2.5 camber up front on stock adjusters with a 13" ride height. There is more negative adjustment to be had as well, just didn’t want it. Not sure why camber joints would be needed unless you wanted like more then -3? The rear at 12.75" I’m maxed in the positive direction at -2.6.

Thanks for the correction. The rubbing wasn't an issue. It was extremely minor, so I didn't see any need for a spacer.

The 5mm spacer is just to clear the larger front hub, an alternative to boring out the rear wheel for front fitment, which some opt to do. I assume then that yours were bored out since your not running one.

I just put a set of TRM 17X9X63 and 255R40-17 RS-3's on my 2001 Friday and ran AutoX both days this weekend. Stock suspension with the exception of a Gendron front bar and alignment. Clearances were all fine and no fender work required.....

you might have aftermarket adjusters in there...fronts max out right around or under 2*, mine were maxed at 1.8* up front.

I heard this may happen, but it is only during full lock of turning right with steering? Anyone have experiment with 17x9 +60mm offset wheels like Enkei PF01 with a STR ride height (12.75-13.25") and front fender tab rolling. Do you get this same issue as well?

A little off topic...but my AP1 is bone stock, stock 16's with Rs3 on them. Camber is maxed out...-1.8 front, -2.1 rear. The snap oversteer was a bitch to deal with. Changed my rear sway bar to an Ap2 and the car is perfect. Rear still comes out, but it gives you warnings. Goodluck

Nope, stock adjusters, at 13" ride height. Maybe your at a higher ride height? I have 20mm bump correction spacers under the steering rack, but that shouldn’t influence camber adjustment throw.
