Default 17x9 +63 with 255/40 star specs(x4)

I'm wanting to get my rear as flush as I can without rubbing and modification. I'll run the same upfront but I'll ether have the front fenders rolled or buy different fenders. Here's what I have to work with.

17x9 +63 TSW Nurburgrings
255/40 star specs
-3* camber
HKS coilovers(13 kg front, 11 kg rear)

From a little reading I've done, about a +50mm off-set on a 9" wide rim will fit in the rear without modifications. So the idea is to run 10mm spacers to net a +53 off-set. Could I step up to a 15mm spacer given my camber and the fact that it'll only be at a +48mm off-set? Also what spacers are best? I'm a noob to spacers lol Here's a couple shots of her to give you an idea.

Why don't you run less camber so it sits more flush? You probably can get away with a 10mm spacer in the rear. The front will more than likely rub, so you'll need a roll if you want to add 10mm spacers in front.

I agree with the above poster. 10mm would work, 15 is too much without fender work. You could also run less camber in the rear, and bring it down to -2.

I run 15mm front, 20mm rear spacers. My fenders are rolled though.

Yeah 10 is the max without a roll. I'd leave the fronts alone.

I'm not running camber to make wheels fit, it's that high because it works. I want the rear to be as flush as possible without any modifications to the fenders. Once I know the spacer I need, the font will be getting the same and ether different fenders or a roll.

I agree on the camber, Star Specs seem to like a lot of camber. I'm running -2 and seem to be getting a bit more outside shoulder wear.

I love those TSW Nurburgrings...I almost bought those for a Mercedes Benz CLK I had. Trying to decide which wheels to get right now for my track set. Are you running the same size wheel front and rear?

Yes I am. You'll need stiff spring rates(10kg+) so the front doesn't rub though.

It's pretty simple to roll the rears, just sayin'. I run 20's with 255's and 25's with 245's. same wheel setup. Sits super flush and looks great.
