Yes, a bit of camber in the front will help with 17x9 +35 wheels. I thought my 18x9 +32 wheels fit nicely with just a set of camber bolts set at -1.4

FI is cool. I have different priorities.

I have (as you put it) a"weak" stock engine, that is plenty powerful enough for me. And I am also one of the guys with an AT.

My car is supposed to be what I want it to be and nothing more.

I have 245/35 all around on 18x9 +30 front and 18x9 +27 rear. I was running these with springs and -1.4 front and -2 rear. But now I've got stiffer coils and more camber.

To me owning the car is just a fun learning process: I have had fun and learned a bunch by doing all my own mods.
