pic of 9" without spacer in front! Tires square 255mm. Since the car is lowered, a little -ve camber is needed, otherwise the front will rub on the outside of the fender. With 9.5" and 5 mm spacer, more -ve camber is needed.....

No idea, but don't forget that what you see as shorter studs could actually be because spacers are being used. But I'd guess 85mm.

Just purchased a square set of the 17/9.5 concave anthracite, Vorshlag camber plates, 5mm spacers and a set of 255/40's from DSBJ on here! Ready to get them all on my car! I am also going to pick up a set of the M3 front control arms. Debating getting the m3 rear bushing to clean up the slop in the back. Thoughts?
Also, thinking about a set of the JRZ RS1s. I know everyone loves KW but thinking of another direction. But then I go back and forth and think I would be good with just the bmw performance suspension and m3 control arms. What do you expect the installation of camber plates, m3 control arms and bushing cost. The bushings will probably be the most expensive part to install right? Last thing I need for awhile will be a beefed up oil cooler. I have signed up for several track days this year already and in VA the heat is really makes heat soak in quickly. Will do a photo shoot once everything is installed |

Why has nobody tried 275's in the front? I test fit my 275/40-17 nt01's on the front of my e92 today with 17x9.5 et35 arc8's (5mm spacer) and it seems to fit fine. Took it out and around a bit and didn't detect any rubbing, flipped some full lock u turns, brakes hard enough to engage the abs, etc...seems fine.
Running ground control coilovers with 3.3 degrees negative camber in the front. Will post a picture in a second. |

By the way, the negative camber hasn't seemed to affect my street tire wear much at all. Toe kills tires, not really camber. My track tires still have slightly more wear on the outside than on the inside. |

Can you mount both 275s in front and test drive it? I am wondering if there would be any rubbing when the front is loaded in turns. |
