Doing this tomorrow. Got 16x8s now with 205/40 and I'm rubbing again 
Im going to try .075 thickness of the washer and go with that. Don't want to much of camber, just enough to stop rubbing. I'll post pics when I'm done!

I'm at the part where I need to remove the 4, 14mm bolts. Just a fair warning to everyone, there is one kinda hiding behind a metal piece of the inside assembly. It's hard as hell to losen it. I've been trying tto get it out for 15 minutes. Everything else is pretty easy.
Nice write up!

step 8. loosen the bolt enough so you can fit the washer behinde it and you can angle the hub enough so it sits flush
for the washers i used a standered 5/8 square washer from home depot they cast about 25 cents each but they are steele washers
they start out being .121 i shaved one at a angle to flat wise to .098 then the otherone from corner to corner at a angle to .102
front washer is .102
rear washer is .098
and that will compensate for the toe the washer get put in on the bottom bolts the front one going towards the front of the car has .102 and the rear one has .098

I also need some clarification on this. OP, when you say "i shaved one at a angle to flat wise to .098 then the otherone from corner to corner at a angle to .102" what the hell does that mean lol? No offense but that sentence made no sense to me.
Are you trying to say that one washer needs to be .098 thickness on the whole washer? Or is this saying that if you were to look at this as a square where the sides are labelled 1 to 4 in a clockwise direction, that from the top edge of side 1 to the bottom edge being side 3. Your washer would end up as edge 1 @0.121 and down to edge 3 be @0.098?
Sorry man, really wanting to do this but slightly confused. Seeing as you have done the R&D behind this, I'd rather ask for clarity then do a few attempts myself. Thanks so much

So...
This has been around for a while, and it has helped numerous folks, but I did not feel comfortable with a hardware store washer being subjected to high G cornering forces I put my car under during AutoX. ESPECIALLY when I usually only have ONE rear wheel on the ground during hard cornering and sweepers:
SO, I ordered a rear hub from Honda ($$$) and had a local machine shop take measurements and create a FULL CONTACT shim ($$$):
These have been made in the USA and intended to provide around -3.0 of camber for the rear.
I am not a vendor, so if you want to know more PM me.
No I do not have pictures installed as my next several events won't require the camber yet. Another local HellaFit member may have his done soon, if so I will ask for photos from him.

step 2. remove 32mm nut and remove hub
step 3.remove 12mm nut that holds on the Ebrake
step 4. remove ABS sensor bolt 10mm
step 5.remove the 4 14mm bolts that hold on the drum assembley
