Are you tracking or autocrossing the car? Because if you aren't, then -2-deg rear camber is quite a lot. Stock 1LE rear wheels are 11" with 43mm offset and only 305/30 tires. With your proposed setup, your 11" rear wheels will sit 13mm (1/2") further outboard and you'll have 10mm more tire width (5mm extra on the outboard side). So your rear tires will sit about 3/4" further out than those of a stock SS 1LE. I don't think your tires are going to rub the fender edges, but they will poke out a bit. Whether that matters to you is more a matter of aesthetics than function, I think.

Solving that "poke" by increasing negative camber is not the proper solution: you should set your alignment the way you need it for best handling and tire life according to the ways you intend to use the car, not to address appearance issues.
