This is the back on my 4x4 sapph with 6 degree rear beam and 17x8 wheels, ET 35 and 215/40 R17 tyres on the bumpstop. The arches are rolled and I could get my finger in between the arch and the tyre.

Thanks for that

What was the clearance like on the back of the wheel when it was on the bump stops ?

Looks like the 6 degree beam makes a big difference to camber change!

I would like to be able to use car fully loaded without rubbing.

ET38 would pull them in a bit, might even get away with ET40 with the 6 degree beam ...
