Cambering my 02 wrx- help
Im gonna be throwing on some rota g force 18x9 +35 wheels on my 02 wrx and am wondering if someone can give me some insight into my options for cambering. Coilovers are going on at the same time.

I didn't know they made G-Force's in a 18x9.5? As for options on camber, do your coilovers that you're installing come with camber plates in the rear? Depending on what ride height you plan on running the car at, and also what tire size will help to determine how much camber and fender work you'll need. More low, more tire, equals more fender work. Need more info to give you more info.

Any idea what size tires you plan on running? Well, since your coils don't have camber plates, you'll need to pick up a set of rear camber bolts. Again, depending on how wide a tire you plan on running, that will dictate how much camber you need. I'd venture to say around -2 degrees or so.

you still do have the factory camber adjustment located at the rear cross member. The lateral links connect there. rear camber bolts are also recommended as stated by bran808
since you didn't put on your coilovers yet you may want to consider purchasing adjustable camber plates. It's worth the additional money spent on them if you plan on fitting anything wider than a 8" wide wheel/tire combo.

18x9.5 Stretching 225's you could run without camber plates and just rolling but you will rub ALOT. I would get plates/bolts and run something a little wider than a 225, not a fan of that much of a stretch.
This is 18x9.5 +35 with a 225/40/18 tire also on a wagon so I think you have a little more room. With just stock camber adjustment and rolled fenders. It fits, but it rubs. Keep in mind this is a wagon so you might have a little more room

IMO.. Vorschlag Camber plates are a necessary item for the rear.. camber bolts will only give you .75* +/- (for a total of 1.5* of adjustability)

I dunno what brand of CO's you're gonna run but they worked REALLY well with my KW/RCE's
You can get Camber Bolts (SPC's) from Miller Industries on Sand Island Road (You'll need 14mm Camber Bolts)

Bought and installed the Cusco rear upper mounts and rolled the fenders slightly. I'll probably lift it a bit so that I can drive up mountain without rubbing too much.Thanks for the help
