Hey guys I have been enjoying my 330ci 5spd as a fun daily for the past year, and the time has come to start turning it into more of a track car so I can get into hpde more.
For those of you that don't know my car it is a 2002 BMW 330Ci Steel Gray with a 5 speed manual. It has just over 130k miles right now and some mods. I picked up the car from Jason Towers in August 2017 and loving it ever since. A lot of maintenance work has been done to the car already including the whole cooling system, gaskets, clutch/flywheel, etc. The only 2 modifications besides upgraded parts during maintenance are the Brembo 4 piston BBK front and rear, and an Evo 3 SSK.
The plan as of now is to work on suspension and drivetrain so that it works for both street and track until I buy another daily. My main concern is wheel fitment. I am planning to run 255/40R17 Falken Azenis FT615K+ on Apex ARC-8 17x9 et42. To fit that wide of a tire I will have to run negative camber and need camber plates. The stock strut mounts are taller than most camber plates and could drop the car more than I want in the front; however, these hybrid plates from Ground Control may solve the issue.

Any help is appreciated.
