Your stock camber is slightly negative. You wouldn't need much more negative camber. Go for it. Your handling won't suffer. @ Butters

Real JDM people from JDM Land (aka Japan) do 9.5 in the front and 5.0 in the back.... on a RWD car!

Honestly its not too bad to run neg camber, i have a ton in the back of my car and the wear is only slightly uneven. When the wear starts to get a bit more noticeable, ill have the tires swapped so the portion that used to be on the outside of the right wheel will be the inside of the left, etc.

Handling if anything will probably slightly increase because your tires would be further out giving you a better stance with the weight carried further out. Honestly though the difference is slightly more than half an inch further out on each wheel so its hardly noticeable.

I just put on my brand new advan Rs 18x9 +29 and they are rubbing.
The tires are Nitto NT555 tires. They are 255-35/18.

Can I fit them with a roll and some neg camber or should I opt for swapping out tires?

more camber and roll u good, or just do a pull and you'll have a lot more room.

So I was thinking of going bigger. I think my 8 needs some beef. What you guys think, will one of these fit? I think I may need to roll the fenders, but I am not sure. I think I might be able to get away without doing the roll.

^What size drop are you looking at getting? With that width tire you're going to need to have a near stock offset.

please no.

there are many more styles out there for our cars that compliment our lines and stance.

but to answer your question, you're going to need to provide specs

Yeah, should be easy after a pull, I'm actually looking at a setup similar but +10 and I was going to go with 255
