mine are +35 and stick out only slightly, +40 should be fine, +38 - +50 is what i believe what Lexus recommend, but i could be wrong on that one

^^ Point proven. At -.9 degree it is 3mm or so back from zero camber and just barely inside. You could also go by the center position which is clearly outside at zero point.

Looks good too Rvalero.
