Hi all,

I recently added negative camber on my otherwise stock Performance Pack suspension via SPC camber bolts in the bottom holes and OEM 14mm in the top. Am getting -2.4* and -2.0* in the front. I just bought 225 45R/17 GT Radial SX2s off of the internet. My wheels are Enkei VR5 17x8 +45mm. I didn’t realize spring perch clearance could be an issue at as narrow as 225 (my winter tires were also 225 45R/17 on these same rims, but that was before I got the front camber bolts).

My tires are still on their way; could spring perch be an issue given my setup? I would like to have good clearance because this will be track set of tires/wheel. Thanks!
