Z4MC Alignment

Hi,

Have a 2007 Z4MC that I just installed new OEM RTAB's and ECS limiters in. Had the car aligned over the weekend at a local shop with a good reputation. How do these settings look? I asked them to pull the pins and dial in front negative, they also opted to reduce my rear camber as they said it would work well with the stiff sidewalled and wide rear PSS. Does the setup look good? I'm a bit worried about possible rubbing in the back with the reduced camber.

Summer wheels are not mounted yet, but they are
18x8.5 et35 with 245/40-18 Michelin PSS
18x10 et25 with 275/35-18 Michelin PSS

The set up looks fine, but whether or not you'll get any rubbing is hard to say for sure. From my experience of using none OEM wheel sizes: the Z4MC's wheel arches don't allow for much change from OEM tyre sizes, and I had to revert to OEM rear camber when I fitted wider tyres.
 
Thanks for the input,

I'm definitely concerned about fitment. I'm hoping to have my tires mounted and balanced on the new summer wheels this week, I may do a mid-winter test fit to make sure and if needed get the rear camber re-adjusted.
 
Bumping this old post for a followup. Alignment has stayed the same since I first dropped this post on here, but I've been rocking my new wheels ever since.

I'm wanting to get the alignment re-done at a different shop, what specs should I ask for? I know for sure I want bring the rear camber closer to -1.9 degrees. Front I will probably leave unchanged, except my steering wheel has been a hair off center ever since the last go, and I want that s**t fixed this time around. Car does slight daily driver stuff, but also autocross, tight backroads, and next spring/summer a few lapping days on the track


EDIT: Exdos, that colour on your coupe is amazing.
