that is some serious poke on the fronts. I take it you have not set your ride height or done any alignment work when those pics were taken?

Jesus christ you sound like teh clap.

If I take a shot from the top down. The front are about 99% flush. Tire sticks out MAYBE 1mm. FAR from "serious poke"

Either way, its track only.

Stock setup is about the same, with 5mm more offset, but 10mm narrower tires, so you finish in about the same spot.

My ride height is where it was and where it will be. As is my camber. I am on stock struts and tanabe springs. Height isnt adjustable, and negative camber is maxed out.

I have the same wheels coming and am looking for tires. With this set-up do you rub with aggressive driving? If so, where? Fender mods? Do the wheels feel heavy?

Thanks
