I have eibach sportline springs on which make it sit lower than most. I haven’t installed my maximum Motorsport camber plates yet. Would -3 camber give enough clearance so it won’t rub ? Looking into the Andersson Composite fenders. They say .400 wider than stock. Could be enough clearance. I love GT 350 fenders but don’t want to be a poser lol ..what do you think of the one in pic?

Every degree of negative camber you add will move the top of the tire inward by about 1/4", so armed with that information, you can figure out if it will clear or not. The GT350 fenders clear for sure, but I think you have to replace everything - hood, bumper, etc - to use them.

If the camber plates don't pull it in enough, I'd consider slots/slugs/camber bolts if you need a bit more. At least until you get wider fenders...or maybe roll them out a bit more since the paint already needs fixin'.

Good luck either way.
