New rims and suspension
Just got some Megan racing coilovers installed and some wheels. 19''x8.5" f 19"x10" r +25 offset (rubbing a little bit in the rear) Has anybody tried the camber bolts we can get for our cars? I think if I add a little rear camber, I might be ok. Plus, I need to stiffen my dampers also. The shop that installed them set them conservatively. How do you get to the adjustment knobs for the rears? Do I have to remove my interior in the hatch?

I have 19x9.5 in the rears, with 265/30/19. My wheels are +40 offset (the higher the number, the more they are "pushed in"). I have H&R springs with half a coil cut, and I have #2 pads. Current spacers are 10mm, thus making my net offset +30. I had to cut down the metal tab that hold the rear bumper, roll the fenders, and pull the fenders about 1/2". I had a TON of neg camber (bottom of the wheel sticks out more than the top. This causes excessive wear on the inside of the tire) My next step was to install the camber kits. I am now at 1.5 degrees of neg camber (bought a guage too), OEM is 1.2. No rubbing, car is slammed, tires will wear evenly. I wanted a clean, tight look as well. Cannot fit my pinky between the tire and the fender, and I am tucking about 1/2" of tire. Hope this helps.

It looks kind of like the previous owner rolled the fender. It doesnt feel like other fenders Ive seen but how do you pull the fender out a little bit? What do you use and how is it done? There are some ebay camber bolt kits Ive seen. I might grab them. $20 for the front and $80 for the rear. I like having these big, fat wheels and I dont want to raise my car any. If anything, I wanna lower it a couple more notches. But when I make a turn, the tires "howl" on something under there. lol I need to stiffen my rear damper too. I just dont know how to get to the tops of them.

the front cambers are adjusted by fluted bolts that going in the upper and lower control arms, most alignment shops should have the bolts and if not the dealership will have them. the rears are adjusted by the control arm as well. you can either buy ghostriders kit or build your own and save like 30, theres a thread that list the parts needed to build your own.
Pulling the fender is done by using a fender roller and gradually adding more pressure to the roller to slighty push (pull) the fender out more. body shops can do it but its expensive. you can either rent one yourself and do it or look for someone local that knows how to do it.

Like Phister explained, the best way to address rear camber is a camber kit, like Ghosts's. I used an Eastwood Roller to roll/pull my fenders. There are some good threads and youtube videos showing DIY. You MUST do this slowly, and also use a heat gun to warm the paint, and monitor the temp

Will that kit work for w203? I might go that route.
