Could the guys who have paid chime in on these questions...
Who is getting staggered set and who is getting race set?
And what tire sizes will you be running?
I will probably do 215F and 245R even though I am rolled and bumper tab relocated in rear, but I have heard that front fenders are tougher to roll and I do not want to rub!!

Hopefully you saw my post on pg 32, but in case you didn't
First, I'm very picky about the car, so I did a lot of research before deciding on these, and the fender mods I'd need.
I'm getting staggered set, and going to run 225/255. Just received new Star Specs, while awaiting the Rims. My conversations with several tire people indicated that while 215/245 isn't an actual stretched look, the 225/255 is really a better fit for the rim size.
I'm dropped about 3/4 of an inch on PSS9s. I will roll rear fenders, relocate tab. Fronts will probably be ok as is, but might have to bend the liner tabs. Basically no biggie. If necessary, I'll run the UK spec alignment, which is approx. a -1 camber front and -2 rear. My local shop doesn't even think that will be necessary either.
