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.

I’ll have an answer by next week. Was going to tackle this week but pretty sure my VCG is leaking so need to deal with that first lol.

PS - congrats on the car!
