i don't really mind having the negative camber. it helps at the track. i have skunkworks coilovers and i have a one finger gap in the back, 1/2 up front. oh yeah, i also run a +35 15x6 or a +38 14x6 wheel, depending on the week. no big problems with rubbing, just a little in the rear. just rotate your tires every other oil change and you'll get fine life out of them.
