I've got 18x8.5 ET35 Apex's on mine, 245/40/18 Conti ECS02 rubber. Camber plates are absolutely mandatory, and I'm running -2.3f. Lowest you could likely get away with is -2.0, but I wouldn't suggest it. In this current setup I never get rub in daily driving, only when the wheels are turned sharply and you're going up a driveway does it rub. I'm also on H&R springs, which are pretty aggressive.
The rears are surprisingly narrow on clearance. I'm running stock rear camber at -1.7, and the edge of the tire pokes out from the fender at rest. Thanks to suspension geometry, they just barely tuck under the fender under compression, but it's close.
P.S: I'm on 245/40/18's rather than the stock 245/35/18 rears. For anyone considering it, I would recommend it. It visually fills the wheel wells much better, and has a very satisfying 'meaty tire' look to it. I also believe I've survived a couple potholes that would've put me on a flatbed before. As a final note, my speedo error is corrected so that it mostly matches GPS (3.6% increase in diameter), but the speedo error is actually
programmed in, so my odometer reads a little slow now.
