DJ Khaled Max Tire with Stock Camber Question (Another One)

Can someone with direct experience comment what is the max tire width that can be run with stock(ish) Z4 M components? After digging through old threads it seems removing pins gets you max of -1.5 to -1.7 degrees. Additionally using TMS camber bolts (or your own procured set of bolts and washers) gets you approx another half degree PER washers so all-in maybe -2.5 tk -2.7 with two washers. That’s actually the exact amount of static camber I’m trying to dial in on the stock suspension however, the primary goal is to run 255/40 or 265/35-18 on the stock rear Z4 M wheel (i.e. 18x9.0 et30).

Clearly the washers will reduce inner strut clearance but is there any chance I can fit the above wirhout rub? If not, how thick of a spacer are we talking, 3mm, 5mm?

Worst case I can buy a set of GC street plates (ran them before, really quality set) but if I can achieve the same -2.5 degrees without burning $450, then obviously would prefer that.

FYI tires in question are 200tw, wide/square shoulders for street but not talking Hoosiers either.

The HACK if you’re still around would love your input.
