You would need to pull in the front. Not much, but some.

^^ what he said
Thanks for the clarification! I know I'm really pushin it here but is there ANY way I can avoid pulling? Last time I'll ask this question I promise lol Would adding a little bit more camber in the front (was originally going to go -2.5 fronts) help avoid pulling? Trying to find any possible way to avoid pulling the front fenders

I mean...you could try going -4 camber and increasing caster to like 7.5. You'd need aftermarket alignment modifications though.

Gotcha, I guess that's not worth it since I want to keep the car functional and want to track it a couple times a year. Thanks for the quick response.

Hoping to be in the club sooner rather than later.

Plan is to run
17x9 +35 225/45
17x9.5 +38 255/40

or

17x9 +35
17x10 +38
same tire size.

How much camber should I run in the front and how much fender work?
For the rear I know I will need to roll , pull and relocate bumper tab and run around -3 camber

So if i want to avoid having to pull the fenders and only roll them and 17x9 +45 all around requires some pulling on the front, what size wheels would you guys recommend? maybe the 17x9.5 +38 all around? Would those work without having to pull the fenders? I would like to be able to rotate the wheels but that's not a must and I like the look of the concave face RPF1 which i believe you only get in the 9 inch wheels thts why I would like to avid 8's in the front. Suggestions guys? Also I was wondering where you guys got your wheels? I live in Whittier CA. I was thinking of hitting up Evasive Motorsports. I would like to get the SBC color.

If you want to run 17x9 +45 all around and avoid pulling, you will most likely have to stick with nothing bigger than 245/40/17 for tires from what I'm reading. I'm currently on 17x9 +45 all around with 255/40/17 tires non staggered with a very mild drop (0.7 in the front, 1.0 in the rear with Swift Springs/fenders rolled/bumper tab relocated... don't remember my current camber settings), and I rub in the front on hard corners. I just picked up Buddy Club N+'s and looking to drop it a bit and add some camber to avoid rubbing. From the responses I've gotten, I'll have to pull my fronts (which I really do not want to do) So to answer your question, if you want to avoid pulling I'd get 17x9 +45 all around along with 245/40/17 all around and you should be set.

Go look at the newest post in the non-staggered thread. The black car with the 949 wheels on it is about how much pull you'll need up front, which isn't bad at all. It still has the natural body line and all that.

Sorry for a crappy iPhone pic but I'll wait to get my coilovers to do a legit photoshoot. Currently on Eibach springs. Only rolled fenders on all four corners and rear bumper tab relocation with no rubbing.

Shout out to LatinoChino for serving as an inspiration aesthetically!

17x9 +45 with Ventus V12 255/40/17 all around.
