Default Max camber for SC's?

What is the max camber I can run in the rear of the car? Right now its a 265/40/18 on a 18x10 rim with square sidewalls. I'm about to run a 235 or 245 tire on it with rounder sidewalls. What is the max camber I can dial in with factory suspension components in the rear? The car already has a 3' drop.

stock I don't know. Daizen camber bushings only +/- 2 deg. 14 deg? Where can I get these magical lexus camber bolts?

I would recommend lowering your car more too add camber on and get rid of some of the fender gap.

you really dont need much camber there... your running a tire with too much meat. Try streching something on there and you should be golden.

Trying to decide WHICH size/brand to get. I don't want to go any lower because it'll be supertucked. These are the wheels... hope you guys can see why I want them on so bad...

I think you posted this wheel a month ago and you were told you needed to stretch to fit them. so stretch already ! 245 is not very stretched on a 10J. I still say go lower

Drop it and it should camber nicely, chuck on slightly stretched tyres and maybe roll the fenders so they don't hit then you'll have a car that's looking hot and you won't be fussed about the ride/tyres getting chopped up by anything.

What are the offsets on those wheels btw? We need a side on shot too

I'm currently running on 245/40/18s. I lowered the front to about 2" and the rear 1.5". The all around fender gaps are about .75", which almost touch my finger tucking in there. I found out this is the max lowering the stock SC camber/caster allow. If you get under the lower control arms, you'll see bolts, nuts, and washers with the degree indicated. With my lowering, the washers with a notch will be stopped at the crossmember notch. This means the washer can't be rotated for adjustments anymore. But if I try to pass that range, and only a little bit more range, the washer will cut into the notch of the crossmember. No good.
