Help with Apex wheels

Hey all, I've got a 2006 Z4MR and I'm looking to get the Apex EC-7s.

Right now I've got some knock-off, classic CSL styled rims, no idea who even makes them, the last owner bought them. They look great, but they're cheap and heavy, so obviously want to replace them.

I'm running 245 18 in the front, and 275 18 in the back, which is what I'd like to do with the Apex wheels. Simple, right?

Problem is, after talking with the Apex rep, he said you can't run 245 in the front with the EC7s without adding some negative camber. Is that true? Cause browsing the threads here, it looks like quite a few people have 245 and higher in the front. I'd like to avoid any camber to save my tire wear, and if I've already got CSL styled wheels at 245 without any camber at all, I'm wondering where the issue is.

The rep did say the amount of camber needed is very slight, and probably won't cause much extra tire wear. Is that true too? I thought any camber either way significantly affected tread wear.

Thanks for any help!
