There's only one 17" wheel in the 006 and it's 17x7.

I'm pretty sure the 06 has tpms, but it's just the light, won't show pressure of individual tires. Turn your key to on, but not started, it should be one of the lights on the left.

If I run 15mm Spacers on my front 2 tires do I need to run spacers in the back also?

You don't have to..I've seen plenty run spacers on 2 wheels to bring offset closer to a rear wheels

I'm just worried about any negative effects it might have on tires. Unnecessary stress like that, causing weird wear patterns or decreases traction.

Sorry to hear about that man! I hope your alright and I'm glad your getting another g atleast! I'm not sure what your offsets and tire sizes are gonna be though. And can you not get your coils and camber kit from the car? Or were they damaged too?

If it was me id get your wheels and coils and set your height where you want them..you might be perfect with natural camber..I personally don't think you would need a camber kit..and I would rrun a 30 series tire but I'm not sure a 35 would caue problems..

How can you achieve a poke/fitment like this without the rim and fender hitting? stiffer dampening? bags? I noticed other aggressive fitment with similar offsets have the top of their rim more aligned with the fender(in other words, more camber).

JohnnyBeastFoo's 19x10.5 -5mm offset...

I'm sure dampening has a lot to do with it aswell as stretched tires and fender rolling..he's running 255/35 out back but I'm not sure about camber..you can make the rim camber in to meet the fender if you wish with this setup all you do is get an adjustable camber arm...but if you do with that offset the tire won't be flush anymore..I love johnnys car..he was my inspiration..and I think this offset is perfect but its not super aggressive by todays standards..there is a guy running this same wheel with -18 out back and his fender touches rim and tire is flush. With fender

exactly what I figured. I have camber kits but adjusting it would add fender/tire gaps like you've said. If i'm not mistaken, he has a pretty mild camber setting at -2.7.

What's the secret Johnnys_Beast_Foo? is it safe to assume very little suspension travel and stiff dampening? not unless you get or allow some fender to rim rub?

well to solve the tire to fender gap you can always add a spacer or get a slightly bigger tire..=] my vote is for spacer lol especially if you run natural camber and space it out...mmmm haha
