    yes couple options I'm looking at

    Kmac camber kits
    #141516 K -2/3
    $465- Pair
    (expensive but you can adjust the front camber without jackup the car or removing the wheels)

    H&R TripleC

    Which are adjustment bolts that replace the upper fastening bolts on your struts
    cheap $50-$80 i think
    -3 to +3 adjusment range


    can I ask why you need the adjustment?

    Why do i need them, well you think it is not wide enough lol, fronts rub with 205's on, and i need to run 3mm spacers for my porsche brakes, so was thinking a bit of negative camber might help with the rubbing

    Do Kmac make a copy of the H&R bolts

    Nup not Kmac but Eibach do, though those are harder to find than the H&R ones.

    what offset are you running now?

    okay your coilovers must go lower then they state , I have 8s at +35 with 70mm drop and they don't rub, you running a 40 series tyre? if not that will fix the issue.... but a set of new tyres cost the same as those Kmac chamber kits If it is rubbing it would only be on the tabs that screw the guard lining in place maybe just get your arches rolled.

    Running 205/40/17

    My KW's go so low i can tuck the tire under a little
    The bora sports have always looked like they have a aggressive offset even tho technically they dont, they are one of the only wheels that would fit to clear big brakes
    It only rubs on the front left, which you say might be a tab, but when the brakes go on i still need to space the wheels about 2mm, depends how thickly they do that paint lol
