-1.5 camber

high res pics to come later.
thanks for looking.





Man, I need some details ASAP! I have these wheels, exact same size and offset (17x8.5 +42 5x100), and I went to go fit them up this weekend, and the fronts are scraping the outside of my caliper. Like the 17" rim's inner diameter is too small for the brembos. It isn't touching the top edge of my caliper until I have the rim mounted up flat against the rotor, so I was thinking maybe a +5mm spacer or something? I already scratched some gold paint off the caliper top, nothing off the face (whew), but the fitment looks super close man, like 2mm-3mm space between the rim and the caliper's outer edge. HELP HELP HELP HELP please.

Damn man, how in the heck? Do I have untrue wheels or some sh*t? I am scraping rim, not weights. I might need to sell these to a WRX guy.
