    Stance looks great but if you are rubbing than that's different.

    You dont need to roll the fenders, just adjust you camber in the rear. I was rubbing like crazy when I got my new wheels last month. They are 19x9.5 with 245/35/19s I adjusted my camber to -2 which will wear the tires probably every 9-10 months but it doesn't rub anymore and it looks damn good. Here is what they look like after adjusting the camber-

    I think it looks great. I never though I'd like those wheels, but I actually do on your car.

    just a note i not sure that the camber will scrub the tire tread off, it is the toe in/out that will remove tread in a year. if you get a good alignment then you can have your good looks and tire life.

    Roll the fenders, your drop is perfect. If you decide to go the cambr route, just set your toe as close to 0 as possible and you will have minimal/close to normal tire wear

    Camber doesn't wear tires, toe does. Zero the toe out and you won't have junked out wear patterns.

    Camber will wear your tires. My toe is perfect and always has been. I have been on springs for a year and my tires I just replaced were wore out front and back on the insides. That isn't from toe, toe will cause your car to track wrong and it will unevenly wear your tires but nowhere nearly as quick as negative camber.

    You have that backwards. Negative camber + zero toe > Perfect camber + toe-in. I got almost 20k out of a set of the old falken azenis (220tr) following this, about twice as long as they were supposed to last.

    Re: One Teaser - can't help it...

    Camber will STILL wear out the inner/outer edges of the tire, even if you toe is set to zero

    BUT

    There is no doubt, that incorrect toe settings are the absolute killer

    Re: One Teaser - can't help it...

    MARTINI!!!!!! Back on track, the car looks great. Would love to see close ups of the spoilers, the rims and a front shot. I'm interested in if those spoilers are going into production for us to buy. Been curious of that since you teased us with them before they went to paint. You car is looking great man. lovin the new shoes...
