Look great. Mixed between these wheels and both boss variants.

Keith,
This is encouraging info.
What size tire are you sporting on those things?

The car looks amazing with these wheels in your avatar pic.

mine rubbed on the front fender, but thats because I put a 275/40-19 up front LOL.

I rolled the fender lips and run my camber at my track settings at all times (it s hell on tires) and its fine. With Staggered tires they do not rub

For the psudo-bossish look I am going with black Shelby CS56. Not trying to recreate a boss but I think they will look good on the candy.

Haha... I wish I could roll on a race alignment... but I'm not that rich!

So 275... probably too big.

Excellent... thanks. I bet it looks mean with the wide rubber out back! Does it understeer with the staggered setup?

no you dont, I leave the toe at my track setting too (more toe'd out then a street alignment), so it grabs everything and is the dart-est thing ever. Ruts in the road make this thing try to change lanes pretty hard.

I need to not be so lazy and the car would be more enjoyable on the street (it doesnt really bother me)

Yeah..That "tramlining" effect can be reaallly spooky. My Miata did that when I had a more wild alignment...it scared the hell out of me.

Will you still keep some kind of aggressive alignment for street driving or will you go back to stock?

I do for now. i will most likely go to a staggered tire size when i get new tires and then I will go back to street on the street and only run the track alignment at, well, the track

Just pick up a set of Toe plates for <$60. Adjustment takes 10 minutes or so...

That's weird. Mine came with the fender lips rolled. Unless you mean the leading or trailing edges of the fender wells and those don't look like they could be rolled without cutting the inner liners.
