yea I'm not sure if I can pull anymore on the rear, when using the roller we had to stack more spacers to flare it out more. Here are a few pics from my FS thread:

I can actually tuck in more if I put my toe links on and adjust for more camber. just using these til I finalize my track setup and street shoes.

Maybe I can get away with 11s in the rear, but nonetheless i don't mind the bulge since it'll be a track setup.

No, I have aligned it after the drop and this is what it looks like.

^anything that is hubcentric and that at least aren't made in somebody's backyard are generally safe....just don't go to big with them and don't double up....even though i should never have to make that point....smh

your roads must be so much better in...wherever you are, than in OK. And what difference is 650lbs springs from the ones you had originally? You are static...meaning?

static means that he is on coilovers and not bags...most people pride themselves on being static and being so aggressive

Ha, in that case I was ecstatic about being static...until I felt every little bump and started to bottom out. Roads here are WACK! Had to raise my G and put OEM wheels...so sad!!!

On a sedan 19x8.5 +35 fit into factory alignment? Fender can be rolled/pulled. Could 19x9.5 +30 fit into factory alignment? Even if I pulled the fender (I'm allowed 1/2 inch) it wouldn't fit right? Could 19x9.5 fit at a higher offset?

I have 20x8.5 +40, 20x9.5 +43 on 245/35/20 and 255/35/20. If I wanted 20mm spacers all around would these tire sizes fit? If so what negative camber should I run?

Anyone have any feedback regarding Federal 595's? Are they a good tire to reliably stretch? T1R's are slowly being discontinued so I need to find a good replacement.
