Default new wheels new camber

i will get some good shots later but here it is on L (lowest setting) with the previous wheels (19" aimgain G wheels that will be for sale soon).




i put on an upper rear window visor and rear lower arm lowering kit to add more camber. presently it is at about -4 degrees but the rear fender lip is hitting the rear wheels lip so i need to go to about -6 degrees of camber in the rear. now i gotta put rear upper arms and toe arms to get to the -6 degrees.





new wheels are 20" Work Durandal step lip.

it is on setting 9 in the pics below and i can't even put it on L mode right now (bout 1.5-2" lower) since the rear lips touch the fenders

Love the new wheels and the rear fitment Any plans to push the front out a tad to make it match the flush-ness of the rear? or too much headache? Looks good none the less!

maybe a 5mm spacer but anything more and i won't be able to turn while riding low. presently on stock air so it is nice and plush on the dampening, which equals body roll, which equals rubbing if i push em out too far.

i tried really hard to pull out my rear fender some today, which i did. but now the tire hits on that stupid screw that sticks out way up in the fender well. i had the same thing happen on my LS430 and forgot to even check to see if this car had it too...
