Thanks for the ideas.
I'm going to camber the front to see how it looks and make sure there's no rub this weekend. :shrug:

I know I'll have to sell them probably. I want a staggered look from the rear, so there is a little more that I have to look into.

if you have to sell them, you are better off to do so before you destroy the rubber.

:love2:

Looks pretty sweet to me. If it wasn't for the rubbing they would be perfect! It's always nice to see someone stepping outside the box instead of doing what everyone else is doing...

I completed the front end camber. I still have some height adjusting to finish, but this is the way it looks now. Sorry for the rotated pics.

Looks better. What tire size are you running? 205 50? Try running 205 45 or 195 45/50

I'm actually loving the look of the 8" width, granted I would be careful with the offset. Assuming I buy the correct offset, would I be able to get by without any major suspension mods?

Sure, without suspension modification you could easily fit 16x8s or 17x8s even with 0 offset. So assuming since I've had experience with 0 offset, that if you were to get +25 offset it would go flush with the body of your car.

Awesome, thanks for the info! If I go this route, it'll be 16x8 for sure. I personally NEED more tire between my wheels and the road.
