Just ran your numbers. Your rear fenders will need the full compliment of roll, pull, bumper bolt etc, etc

For the best performance & tire wear please do not run out of range camber. The package must be able to fit on stockish camber

Thats a lot of negative camber. I run a mild track camber of -2.2 front & -1.8 rear, zero toe

Is a normally camber adjustment for track use

Did you have any issue in the front fenders? Any friction zone to the steering wheel movement?

I run a +29 wheel & a 275/40 tire so I have had front liner rub. At +20 you may not experience too much liner rub but you may want to consider spacing out your front fender.
You noted this a track set-up so you will be needing as much clearance as possible both front & rear

+20 is probably not the best offset for the track!

My buddies car has 18x9 et 30s with 265 with -2deg up front and -1 in the rear. Static clearance to fender is about 3/4" vertically. Under heavy load or with a loaded trunk the tires rub the fenders. It also rubs the fender liners up front when turning.

None of it is serious and there hasnt been any rolling. Fender clearance would be more than fixed just rolling the fenders flat.

Yes, maybe isn't the best offset if you don't think fit an aftermarket fenders but are my wheels in this moment

Did you spacing out your front fenders to solve the rub issues?
