No, the OP had a specific request, and because other people can't follow instructions, that makes it okay? There's been tons of people who have stolen, so I guess it's okay for me to do the same, huh?
It makes it frustrating for people who are interested in a specific setup to come in and see something like that and be mislead. If someone was looking to set their car up with a non staggered setup (perhaps for the track), and they wanted to make sure it looked good and was possible within their specifications, how does a staggered setup help them? My roommate scours these forums, and I'm sure he's not alone, but if he was looking for something specific, it's people with your mindset that make it difficult to find that info when they have to weed through tons of unrelated material.
And I have posted my car in here before, but not much has changed since I posted it, so why should I flood this thread? No sense in being a post whore. Why isn't your build thread good enough for these pictures?

So if my posts were so misleading how did you know my setup was staggered? Oh that's right! I have included my wheels specs in previous posts and answered numerous PM's to help others with their cars. But just in case you and your roommate are still confused...
*** Disclaimer for "The Internet" ***
This is a STAGGERED setup
- Fronts -
Wheels: 17x8.5 +45 w/ 235/40/17
Camber: -2.9
Body Work: The two frontward most fender liner tabs have been cut off the fenders, the front fender liners have been trimmed, and the inner fender lip has been completely flattened and the fenders have been slightly flared and re-painted.
- Rears -
Wheels: 17x9 +45 w/ 255/40/17
Camber: -3.3
Body Work: The rear bumper to quarter connection has been relocated further back with a new self tapping screw and the original mounting tab has been cut off the bumper and rear qtr. panels. The inner lip of the rear qtr. panels has been completely flattened with a hammer and dolly and the qtr's have been slightly flared and repainted.
I am here to learn, share my car/experience, and help where I can.
Love it.
