I think you'd probably have a flush fit (wheel to fender) if you ran 0 camber in the rear and like .5-1 degree up front. No idea on tires though.

How are you looking into fitting wheels without knowing what camber is??

0 camber means there is no camber, which means the wheel does not tilt in towards the car, it just sits straight up.

i know what camber is ... but i dont think having 0 camber will work if im trying to go low. maybe i asked the wrong question. so basically i need to know what kind camber specs i need for 255/35/20 rear and 235/35/20 front keep in mind i have 20x9 +36 and 20x10 +37.

It will work if you are rolling your fenders. I had 275/30/19 on 10.5 +43 in the rear (mild stretch) and I'm sure I would have been able to zero out the camber and lower the car right to the rim lip if I rolled my fenders. There was probably even enough room to go like 3-5mm more aggressive, then you can camber the wheel in a tiny bit and get a very slight poke.

Cool, ill give it a try this week. im also looking into taking out the liner and fabricate something to cover all the electrical wire for the fogs. this should be able to give me a little more room to play with .
