      Regarding the fronts, is this -3.7 kind of the standard to fit a 18x9.5 ET22 on the front? or can you get away with any less? I have a set of wheels in this same square size with 255/40/18 RT615Ks and KW Clubsports I'm planning on putting on my car... someday before I die.

            Oh there is plenty of clearance less, camber wouldn't cause any fitment issues; the settings are to optimize handling on the track. These are the specs that my alignment shop Chewerks recommended (he's very experienced in E46 M3 track setup).

              Gotcha. Yea Robert aligned my E36 not long ago, I'm pretty new to the E46 platform so I'm trying to figure out where's a decent middle ground since -3.7 might be a *bit* much for around town. But maybe not. Who am I to question a tried and true setup after all?

              Fenders need to be rolled, or...?

                I'd assume it will depend on the ride height and spring rate you are running. Lower height will require stiffer spring with shorter bump travel so you dont take out your fenders/liners. Higher ride height can get away with less camber or softer spring.

                On camber, also depends on many variables. Tires with softer sidewalls will prob need a bit more camber, but for a super stiff car (springs/bars) without much body roll and stiff tire sidewall you would need less camber, and need to base it off your contact patch/temp gradient. I'd say 3.7 degrees is very aggressive and might be more of a autox setup, but again, depends on the test of the setup you run.

                        Anyone know if 18x9.5 et22 square can fit with ohlins r&t and stock ohlins springs? Already bought my wheels so I'm committed, but a bit concerned about strut clearance.

                        Have yet to buy tyres as well so there could be some wiggle room there.

                          Those fit just fine. It's the ET35 wheel that has the spring perch clearance issue.

                              Notes: Car is stupid flat in the corners and absolute Nirvana on track (epic track bros: take a seat, this is relative to my humble vehicular experiences). Driving on bumpy midwest roads is tolerable sometimes and makes me want to sell the car at other times. I will be running much softer spring rates in the next week or two since I value getting out and enjoying the car as much as possible and a softer ride should help with that. If I lived in a place with excellent roads I might only change the rear dampers to a Koni DA as I feel the SAs are slightly underdamped.


                              How/Where I Drive: Commute like an a-hole, 1 track day/year

                              How long have you ran this setup: 3 years, 12,000 miles, 5 track days between myself and the PO

                              Rubs: Very minimal on fender plastics when there is a lot of steering angle. Eventually it will work itself out.
