I don't think it is possible to be slammed without taking your fender well/splash guard out. I also don't think it is a good idea to be driving with -2 camber...but I don't know for sure.

You would still problably scrape on turns.
Why not do a diy fender rolling?

There's nothing wrong with 2* of negative camber, as long as the toe is zeroed. He might notice a *little* extra wear over the life of the tire, but it's not going to significantly shorten tire life. A little camber will also positively impact handling characteristics, which are why a great deal of sports cars run a small amount of negative camber STOCK.

I've been running -2* camber for the last 10,000 miles on brand new tires and have noticed no camber wear at all. I say go for it.

I would roll the fenders and remove all the splash guards if I were trying to tuck, just my .02 though

what rims you got and what tire size??? i never had a problem with this unless you have wide tires or low offset wheels. i tuck with full fender liners, 205/45/16 tires, 16'' rota gt3 +40 offset. no fender roll at all and i still make full u-turns. so what your deal?
