you'll need negative camber to get aggressive fitment without rubbing. what was your camber when you get an alignment

Project Kics had the best spacers until Ichiba came out with their V2 that seem to have the hubcentric rings embedded onto the actual spacer. This way it holds the wheel just like the hub would without the spacer there. Makes me feel extra safe =)

this is Project Kics




and this is Ichiba V2
