    Before I order my parts...

    I had a few questions. I have 16" wheels w/ 225/45/ZR16 tires. I plan on replacing the stock springs with H&R sports. Will I have to adjust the camber of the rear wheels for this? And if I do, will I have to buy anything to do so?

    No. You won't have to. You will see some additional negative camber and it can be adjusted by getting adjustable trailing arm bushings. Most people don't do this and consider the additional negative camber to be a positive. In most cases it's fairly minimal.

      Well, the reason I asked is because I'm not sure if the tires will tuck into the wheel well without rubbing. Are you saying that stock it comes with negative camber and that it shouldn't have to be adjusted?

      I completely forgot to post my car too, its an '89 325i.

        well the part about it tucking or not depends on your offset and the width of the tire and height of its sidewall also the width of your wheel

          The offset is 25, so they fit fine. The wheel's are 16 x 7.5, wrapped with 225/45/ZR16 tires.

          If anyone has a similar setup let me know if you ran into any complications.
