MORE PICTURESSSSS!!! BB with BRONZE/GUN METAL
Edit:
Just got done talking with Jim at tire rack again. He explained to me running the 215/45F and 255/40R would be closer to an OE Stagger rather than the 225/45 on the front because of the stock 215 being smaller than normal and the stock 245 being bigger than normal. If that makes sense. So 215 and 255 it is when i get some dang money lol. Just thought id share what i learnt today
Now to figure out what kind of souls to throw on these shoes...

If I get 17x9 on all 4 corners, can I run a 235/265 tire to keep the stagger?
You could run a 235/40 and a 255/40 combo for some tire stagger.

I just bought 17x9 for all 4 corners. Took it to the track this weekend and didn't notice any inside rubbing up front, I did just barely touch the fender liners on the outside of the tire but that was from one hell of a bump where 2 parts of the track meet (short and full course) I love these wheels and tires (nt01 255s all 4)

Thanks for sharing - do you mind sharing your ride height and camber?
Here is a picture:

I have 13" from the center of the wheel to the top of the fender, all the way around. My camber upfront is a mild -1.5 and -2.0 in the rear. I have yet to test tire temps at the track more precisely, however last weekend showed fairly consistent temps across the contact patch, but I should have probably lapped more before taking the temps each time.
