Or is it just a camber bolts vs plates issue? I planned on plates but don't have them yet. Although I expect they will be in by the time the group buy wheels are delivered...
In the case of my tires, DWS06 in 245/40/17, I had to keep the front camber at 0 to allow 5mm of clearance between the tire and spring/perch. I tried camber bolts and could only reach -0.3 degree, and that left barely 3mm of clearance, so camber plates were necessary. If you have camber plates, the whole assembly moves so it’s not an issue.
