help needed... Will camber plates help these tires fit?

Currently running this on my car...

- Wheel Size/Offset
(F) VMR V710 19x8.5 ET35
(R) VMR V710 19x9.5 ET45

- Tires
(F) 225/35/19 Michelin PSS
(R) 255/30/19 Michelin PSS

with camber plates would I be able to run a 235 tires up front?

trying to see if the rattling noises are worth it

Look at the M4 LCA+TS options to increase camber, or lowering springs to increase camber. The idea is to adjust the wheel angle relative to the strut to increase clearance using negative camber!

I have GC camber plates, 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear, on Dinan lowering springs. I have 18x8.5 ET45 front (w/ 3mm spacer) and 18x9.5 rear ET52.

Hope that helps. You need to search around, plenty of people have already posted on these things.

I'm already lowred on dinan springs, I explored the lca option before and ended up deciding against it. can't remember why, I used to have way more time to look this stuff up. Now I have 2 kids and a new business and simply haven't been able to find the answer to my question despite searching as long as I have. Found a good deal on camber plates and don't want to miss out just because I can't find the answer to my question in time. you say think about lowering and lca but then you installed camber plates?? I'm not just trying to fit a 235, I also want the extra camber so I'm not destroying my tires every time I do a track day.

You are right though, I'm sure there are people that have done it but I can't find it when I search. I didn't just make a thread without searching first, hoping someone that has done it responds. Isn't that the point of these forums?

I have been asking the same question around for awhile now but still can't find an answer. I plan to purchase same size and same offset wheels as you and plan to use 235 tires up front. I am on lowered coil overs and have camber plates installed (-2.2 degrees). I might pull the trigger on the wheels. I'll let you know if I do and update you about the fitment.

Thank You! I searched long and hard for the answer and it was driving me nuts that I couldn't find it. I'm pulling the trigger on the camber plates and crossing my fingers. I'll be waiting too spring to install, so I'll be very interested with your results.

Someone on the forum (search "Square or staggered" 06-29-2015) ran a square 245/40-18 on 18X8.5 ET38 but needed lowering (whether it be springs or coilovers) and -2.25 camber using camber plates. I'm planning to follow this set up soon... just ordered Bilstein B14's and Dinan camber plates, I will wait till spring to buy the tires and have everything installed altogether.

Rims has arrived early!
I've got the Rays G27 Progressive model.
Front: 19x8.5 ET36, tires AD08R 235/35
Rear: 19x9.5 ET45, tires AD08R 255/30

With camber plates, the front is not rubbing . However, surprisingly the rear is rubbing a tiny bit. This could be due to AD08R tires are wider/square shaped than other tires. I will add a bit more camber to the rears and should be good to go. Here are some pics. Hope this helps!

I'm running 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 on 8.5" +40 and 9.5" +45 without any rubbing issues. I'm lowered on H&R springs but no camber plates, no fenders rolled, and no M4 LCA.

In the below pics, I added a 5mm spacer to the front so it's actually +35. There's minor rubbing at the fender with spacers but no issues without the spacer in the front.
