Recommended alignment spec - 18x9.5 +15 RPF1 & 265/35/18 PSS
Wheels: 18x9.5 +15 RPF1
Tires: 265/35/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports
Springs: GTWorx
Shocks: Stock GSR shocks
Anyone running similar setup, could you please share your alignment spec?
Mine rubs the rear fender on bumps and front ones on full lock. Getting it realigned sometime next week.
Here is my spec:

Personally, I run 0 toe all the way around on my car. As far as the rear goes I'm not sure why you rub that hard. I have the same wheels with a 275/35 star spec and I've never rubbed that hard before even pre fender roll, which you definitely need to do. Also I'm not too sure as to why your cross camber is that far off either. I'd have someone check it out again and get the front camber a little closer together on both sides. -1.5 is a safe bet too. That's also the setting I use for the front.

Hey man it's Jason, figured I'd get back to you on your thread. PSS tires run really wide in 265 and with the +15 offset you will have to roll the rear fenders regardless of tire choice unless you went 245/35 which are inappropriate fore a 9.5 inch wheel. Mine rubs the front fenders on full lock but over time it will just rub away that part of the liner and will be a non issue. I recommend you roll the rears ASAP. Adjusting camber may help but you might have to run so much camber it will wear your tires pretty bad. I run stock settings and have my fenders rolled, have zero problems. A mild roll is all you need

Alignment is not dependent on your wheels or tires nearly as much as what you intend to do with it. If you're racing 5 degrees of camber might be perfectly usable, but for daily driving it's not very bright.
As others have said though, you're going to have to roll the rears and you should heat/push the front fender liner. Alignment can then be around 1 degree of camber with no issue.

As others have said (or, at least, implied), you can't fix your issues with alignment, because you already have more rear camber than front. If you do go back for another alignment, tell them to zero the front toe, instead of leaving it just under the limit for toe-out. Front toe-out might be nice for autocrossing, but nothing eats tires faster than toe-out.

The tires are great. Definitely a good balance between DD and performance. It's quiet, happy with the grip and due to bit softer sidewalls the ride over small bumps are very forgiving (compared to stock advans). Unless you are not a track junkie and okay with the budget, go for it.
