Advice on alignment for 18x8.5 +45
Hi guys,
I am planning running a square set up for 18x8.5 with 45mm offset however it is slightly rubbing under compression in the front and rear. I'm not a huge fan of rolling fenders so I'm asking if anyone knows (or has experience) if I run a slightly more aggressive (nothing excessively crazy) camber in the front and rear if I can eliminate this rubbing issue. For info, I'm dropped on kwv3 on the highest setting (I'm not a huge fan of being low... I bought these coils for function not form) and am running 225/40/18 in the front and 255/35/18 n the rear.

You need to roll your fenders. Period. Once it rubs through the liner it will catch your fender. For the front the camber won't make a huge difference because it catches when the wheel is turned. For the rear you could probably add in some negative camber and be ok. Or you could just roll your fenders, never have an issue and get over it.
you should consider the Ingalls camber joint (upper a-arm). it will pull the top of the wheel in further. It's not the most ideal but will give you a little more play.
Bending your two upper most fender tabs in slightly and trimming the fender liner around them is easy.
Eastwood fender finisher and heat gun FTW.
