what alignment specs shoud i run with 17x7.5 and 17x9 on stock ap2 tire sizes with rolled rear quarters lmk asap thanks guys... dont wanna have any rubbing. lmk
With those tire sizes and rolled fenders, you won't need to run extra negative camber unless you want to. I would suggest UK alignment which is -1 front, -2 rear. You could run a little more positive if you want more tire life. Mine wear pretty even though, even in the rear at -2.2.

ive got the UK alignment and im lowered a good amount on Coilovers, ive rolled front and rear and relocated the bumper tab. im on Falken 512's 225 and 255 not rubbing at all. 17x9 F&R.

Just get a roll front and rear and trim your tabs in the rear, a lil camber and you will be fine

I'm on Espelir and had the 8" +45 front which is more aggressive. I didn't even relocate the rear bumper tab and only had a minor roll. If you go up to a 225/255 then it will be tighter, but if your fenders are completely rolled and the bumper tab is relocated then there will be no issue - plenty of room.

What exactly is involved with 'relocating' the tab?

Quick snap from j-rod's house when I helped get his coilovers on. Popped his hardtop off and set it on mine just to see how it looks. I've been wanting to see how a black hardtop would look opposed to silverstone. I think I'm really liking it. Oh yeah, rpf1s on the car of course
