Rear camber with 225's
I have a 02 WRX sedan with factory struts, SPT springs (rear drop 1.2") and 225/45/17 so3's on 17x7.5 rotas (+48 mm offset) and when I put the springs on I was at -2 degrees of camber and had no rugging issues. Later I bought camber bolts and went to -1 so I could run more - camber in the front to adress understeer. Now that Im at -1 My rear tires rub the fender when Im pushing hard in corners and Im thinking of going back to rear factory setting -1.5 (I dont want to roll the fenders). Do any of you guys know if -1.5 will do the trick and if so do you think it will handell better with front and rear at -1.5 rather than the factory settings (.5 front, 1.5 rear)? I'm not auto xing yet so for the most part I'm not going into corners too hot but I do like to come out fast. Later on down the road I will be getting some KYB's and hopefully the added stiffness will alow me to lose some camber in the rear. Any input would be great.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have camber bolts and AGXs on my wagon. I run 225s also and have no issues. I can't run to much rear camber though or the tires rub the struts but I have about -1 in the rear. I never have had rubbing issues but the s03 is a wider than most tire so that could be your problem. I would go max camber you can and see if you still have issues. Camber will not ware out tires that quick if you rotate them well.
I hope this helped you in some way.
