Default Ksport/D2/Airforce sleeved struts

For all the people running the sleeved bag struts do you guys have any problems rubbing in the rear with camber?
im gonna be running 19x11.5 -30ish with a 5.5 inch inner barrel,negative 9.5 camber with a 25mm spacer ontop. i know people running UAS has to relocate their bags but i just wanna know if these strut bags are slim enough.

referring to these:

with a -30 offset in the rear you should have miles of room.

Even then it should be fine. But the other question is that are you achieving the -9.5 camber with shortened upper arms or extended lower arms? In all reality you will need to do many measurements before going forward. My suggestion would be to get the air-sus setup first and once installed start doing your measurements so you know the full potential of what you're dealing with. These questions you're asking have many factors that most likely will not be accounted for in a couple Q&A's on a forum. Especially since VERY few people are running that type of setup on here.

RUCA. well i dont want to drop that much money on an air set up then find out it rubs and not be able to run. i know people who run UAS relocate the bag towards the bottom of the strut. dont really want to mess with modifying coilovers but thats just my other option if these sleeved struts dont work.

the only potential problem with the rear was that the bag would rub against the body, never that it would hit the wheels. especially with how aggressive of a wheel your running, you will be fine.
