Here's the pics that I promised. Sorry if it's not clear or that its not the nicest pics but I took this with my cell phone.
If you look at the 1st 2 pics you can compare the camber angle with the rear wheel to the front.
The last pic just shows the angle compared to the body line.
The spec is as follows:
-Tein CS coilovers (fully cranked to lowest setting)
-20 x 9.5 (+25), 20 x 10.5 (+25)
-225/35-20 and 245/35-20
-Longgest rear lower control link (front camber: -1.5, rear camber: -3.7)
-Rear fender lips cut and modified for clearance

looks really nice but i don't understand how the size is so big...
i have a set of 20x9 (+30) and 20x10.5 (+29) on the way in the mail right now and i test fitted a friends 20x10.5 (+25) on a 265x35x20 tire this past weekend,, i am pretty damn low (prolly lower than you during the test fit on some bc coilovers) and i am running the shortest (5mm shorter than stock) rear arms to correct some of the negative camber, and i have not yet rolled or shaved the fenders just removed the little black thing with the 3 screws that is protecting the metal fender lip.
the wheels sat hella flush on my car and except for scraping a little on my non rolled fenders seemed like it would be an awesome fit.
the only difference between ours with the specs you posted up above should be that i have like 2 - 2.5 degrees (estimated) less negative camber than you so my top of the wheel is closer to the fender and the bottom of the wheels are not poking so much like yours... i am only thinking i need to roll my rear fenders at this point and it will all be good,, why did you have to cut and modify your rear fenders to fit them??

hey nice camber....i likes, now show me side shots please. hey so can you approximate how much in terms of mm did the rods give you on the clearance between your lip and the rear quarter panel?

5mm the arms give you 5mm... by putting 5mm longer arms you get 5mm more clearance between the center rear inner fender and the wheel. if you put 5mm shorter arms you loose 5mm.

I did not want to rub at all costs. So I cut as much as I could. If I didn't cut the fender lip it wouldn't rub while driving over a nice smooth road but everytime I drive over a dip or a bump or if I angled over a speed bump or driveway, I would have rubbed the **** out of it.

damn,, i thought if it just cleared height wise that it wouldn't rub when it hit a dip...
i lowered the car down an inch, test fit the wheels, saw that it only needed a roll then raised the car up 2 inches higher so technically only 1 inch higher than when i started. i figured if it only barely hit the fender when it was 2 inches lower that it wouldn't require that much but now i may have to drive over some dips with people in the back to find out for sure i guess.
