I'd like to run 275's to 295's on all four corners and still be able to get -2 degrees using the Steeda billet adjusters, then use camber plates to get any additional camber needed for events.
I have 17x10 all corners. Depending on the track, I use up to -3.2 camber and have about 1/2" clearance between tire and strut. It was actually in the rear where I experienced clearance issues.

I am also running FRPP springs, which lower the car roughly 1.5". My tires rub the inner plastic fender near the brake like fitting under full lock. It's not a big deal and I just need to cut some of it away and the problem will be gone. I can take pictures of the clearance and where it's rubbing on Monday.

Excellent--thanks. 05BlackGT, which 17x10 wheels are you running? All I can find in a reasonable price range are 17x10.5.

Nice--thanks for the info! These are a great deal considering they are 21-22 lbs. Is the +35mm offset enough, or do they stick out slightly and/or allow any fender contact?

They are only 18lbs in 17x10 and are about even with the fender. I did have a clearance with the drivers side rear wheel making contact with the swaybar mount, so I had to grind the mount down some. +25 to +30mm offset would have been better in the rear.

Thanks again. These have got to be the best bang for the buck in a lightweight wheel.
