thanks for the input.
I was actually using your car as a basis for figuring out if these would fit without excessive camber since you seem to be one of the few guys running that setup for more than looks alone.
I prefer a more neutral setup as opposed to oversteer so I'd like to keep the stagger.. guess I will be looking at a 17x8 / 17x9 setup then..
Out of curiosity, are you running the same sizes on the SBC's? From what I've been reading, I believe a 17x9 + 45 would do much better in the rear and be a good fit for what I am looking for, can you confirm if this is true?

you can go -3 in the rear with 9.5's you just have to trim the bumper tab farther back...it can be done.
yeah, I know it will fit with -3 camber and lots of fender modding but that's a little more than I am looking to run.. I don't really want to go with more than -2.50 in the rear.

Finally getting new tires soon.
Going with Hankook V12s in 225/255.
I'm lowered on Eibachs and I rolled my rear fenders and cut my bumper tab waaaay back. Anyone think I'll have any rub issues and any recomendations on F/R camber specs I should run?

Straight shot of the front. Sorry about the iphone pics.
Wheel turned out all the way.
Rear for comparison.
Edit: Can a brotha get a badge while I'm here too?
