I just fitted the BC Forged HCS04S....just another option for your consideration
Specs:
F: 20x9.5 et 40 w/ 265/30R20 @ -1° degree
R: 20x10.5 et 35 w/ 295/30R20 @ -3° degree
S: Swift Spec R + SPM adjustable camber arms (rear)
Wheels look great. I love the 2pc with exposed hardware. Looks like you could have a little more offset up front. The 265/30 looks great on the 9.5, glad it worked out.
How much adjustment did you need in the rear to get the camber in spec? Just wondering how necessary it is to add the camber arms. If I lower mine, I would go coilovers and drop the rear about half as much as lowering spring.

In the big scheme of things I guess my setup would still be considered conservative - this was deliberate as I do enjoy the odd run through the hills so didn't want to worry about ripping guards out etc. The fronts could run a bit more offset if you were keen - keep in mind that there is a protruding mounting tab and screw that attaches the side vent to the inner front guard, this will have to be modified. Even in my case I'm going to have it modified altered from a horizontal mount to a vertical to increase clearance.
As for the rear, I'm not sure how much adjustment the factory setup will allow. We initially started with 2° neg (with adj. arms) but increased it to 3° neg for the same reasons mentioned above (more clearance). From all accounts on the interwebs the adj. arms are not a necessity but more of a safety net. Keep in mind that camber increases naturally when you lower the car.

Yep, I know about going to aggressive. I tried 275/30 on a 20x10+30 up front and ate up my wheel liners. I changed to 255/30 on a 20x9+30 and got a much better fit. Now I'm pondering coilovers because the front gap is just an eye sore, but it always seems like a crap shoot once you start messing with suspension. Chasing down suspension feel and noise issues is more irritating that a little wheel gap. I've been down that road on my last car going form lowering springs to coils, blown shocks, upgrading sway bars, sway bar links, adjustable camber arms, toe bolt... Not sure I want to do that again. But my sickness keeps telling me to go for it.
