I have my wheels mounted on my car for my track setup. No spacer was required for clearance. Thing is, I also had an alignment with camber bolts and camber was maxed out at -1.3 with wheel very close to the strut.

I ordered 5mm spacers in hopes the spacer will allow enough clearance to increase camber with camber bolt. If not, I will just get plates.

Will I be able to get more camber?

The car looks great brotha, honestly You may be able to just get a tad but more but not much to be honest with you.

With a 5mm spacer you should have room to get -2*. I have 19x10 +35 and was able to run -2.1 with no issue.

Thanks for this. Glad to know an 18x10 +42 fits without issue to the strut.

Its only a matter of 2 mm brotha, it would fit just fine.

I did order and will install tomorrow the 5mm spacers. Still not sure if I will bother trying to get more camber. I only need 0.7 degrees.

I've seen pictures of 20x10 at +40 that were pretty darn tight to the strut, so I figured +42 might be getting a little close for comfort.

It is but it works, just comes down to the tire bring used.

was that really all the camber you could get up front? I have -2.5 on slotted struts and i do not rub (I am still on stock wheels). Most likely I will go the spacer route if I can get my hands on decent track wheel setup

Well what kind of track setup would you be after?

Track setup you say? Let us know when you are ready, we have setup many of our clients with track sets for their GT, GT350, and GT350R.

Any particular width and diameter you are looking for?
