IForged Neo's Prelim Fit.
I fit the wheels today on the '09. Unfortunately, the fronts did not fit over the Akebono calipers. Hopefully, I'll have the faces redone by IForged. I'm also concerned that the rear offset is too aggressive. The pictures are of the suspension at full droop, but I think they'll tuck. Anyone have a similar experience at the rear?

It looks like it sticks WAY outside of the wheel well right now b/c it's drooping down, which makes the top part of the rim bow outwards (way positive camber) even more than if the car was sitting on the ground.
So, the rim is sitting like this: \ / whereas if you were at zero degrees camber, your rims would be like this: | | and once you lower the car, you'd be at negative camber with your rims like this / \ which would make them tuck under the fender.
The best way to test is to put some thick phone books on the ground and lower the rim onto the phone books to compress the suspension. This will give you an idea of how the rim sits in relation to the top of the wheel well.

Alternatively, I was gonna pull the rear spring to see if I could compress, but the shock is likely charged.
If you decide to remove the spring, the shock will not shoot out or anything. The spring stores most of the kinetic energy. Remember that shocks damp both on the compression as well as the rebound stroke. So, unlike springs, they don't shoot out w/ any significant force.
