Camber plates will not help you with rubbing on the perches. A camber plate moves the strut body along with the hub assembly at the same time. In other words if you dial in -1 degree of camber to the camber plate it will move the strut body -1 degree and also the wheel -1 degree. Shims are the exact opposite as they work by spacing the bottom of the strut out therefore moving the top of the tire closer to the strut. You wil need a spacer to run the stop the contact between the wheel and the perch. I am running a the 18x9.5 apex wheel in the front with a 255/35/18 front tire and a 5mm spacer.

I am currently in the process of fitting 275/35/18 hoo hoo R6 in the front and my main issue is contact with the strut but I have an idea that I think might solve that. I can't space the wheel out anymore some have to find room on the inside. Square 275slicks here I come!
