I agree with nate. You may still need to run a little negative rear camber depending on the tires. If I can help with the tires let me know.

With those offsets I would use 215/40/18 front, 245/35/18 rear. It will still require rolling the rear fenders.

Hankook V12 Evo
Falken FK452
Toyo T1R

All good street tires available in those sizes.

No, that is a specialty service. Some performance shops will do it and there may be someone in your area who has a roller and specializes in it. If you are going to be rolling the fenders, might as well step up to 225/40, 255/35 tires.

No camber kit necessary, there is plenty of adjustment with stock arms for most situations.
