No rubbing in the front at all. I do rub a tad in the rear right now, I'll be going on Tuesday to get that fixed. Right now I'm @ 2.5 degrees negative all the way around.

I'll likely go to -3.5 rear, and keep the front as is.
Dreaming, what offsets are you running again?

Front - 17x9 +45 225/45/17
Rear - 17x9.5 +38 255/40/17

I actually just got my front fenders flared, and the car goes into the shop on Monday for finish/paint. I'm going to go to a 245/40 up front and a 10mm spacer. Will technically be staggered, but not by much (just the way I like it)

We'll see how it turns out. I'm excited.

Why? Cause I can get them for DIRT cheap. So good that's pretty hard to pass up. Just wondering if it's worth it or not and looking for feedback, that's all. Kthx.
Basically, I'd say no, it's not worth it.

Vtec4life if you wait till tomorrow I will have pics of my setup...I tried looking for 225/40 but couldn't find that size in dunlop direzza star specs so I'm going to leave the 215/45 on the fronts till I can order 235/40. I'm doing a 245/40 in the rear. Wheel specs are f 17x9 +45 r 17x9.5 +38

psykotik do you think those rear would fit with only -3 degrees of camber?

I think they would NFR, you're going to need some pretty clean/serious pulling though. Also kinda depends on how aggressive you want to drive. The biggest issue is the spot where the fender meets the rear bumper. Get that pushed out as far as you can without buckling, and make sure it's rolled/pulled as flat as you can.

thanks NFR! really helps me out! the 215 tire in the front on a 17x9 isnt that streching the tire alot? and how much strech is the 17 x 9.5 on a 245 tire? i just want to make sure that fitment wont be to hard to fit... and no rubbing i know it will look great though.
