You get "a lot" of camber gain in bump so checking the wheel with suspension on full droop as in the picture is FUBAR - totally misleading.

I run 18 x 9.5 ET37 with 13mm spacer and 265/35R18 tyres and at 3.5 deg neg camber I meet the requirement for sidewall at the top of the tyre to be inside the guard lip. Your wheels outer lip are another 7mm further outboard and should be fairly neat, especially immediately above the centre of the rim.

To be totally safe, you may wish to install adjustable FUCA so you can play with camber, or just lower it an inch or so.

Check the photo's of my car at ride height (I am lowered about a half-inch from OEM - the car "sits" low because tyre OD is ~645mm)
