you might as well buy new wheels... wheel manufacturers don't exactly make the "disc" or "face" of the wheel easy to get a hold of...

99 times out of 100, it's cheaper to just buy a new set of wheels...

Any chance the original thread starting post can have it's image links repaired? Most of the referenced images are no longer valid and point to nothing. This is a VERY important thread for many people and those images were added for a good reason I'm sure

camber is extremely adjustable on our cars... you will not need any kind of a kit to get it to line up...

fender roll - depends moreso on what size and offset wheels/tires you use...

click on my sig pic for supra shocks with 1.1" tein springs...

So ive been looking at this thread, and all the examples, I think ive come to the conclusion that the wheels I want wont fit w/o modifacation.

I was looking at the enkei RPF1 type RC, and the size I was gonna get would be 19x9 at 18 offset. (I figured i would make it easy and get the same all around. If I got the rears diffrent, it would be 19x10 at 22 offset, but that just sounds like more extreme then i want to go)
Sounds like Im gonna have to roll the fenders a little bit if I want this to fit? It would prolly be a minimal roll, right? My first choice would be to try and not touch the fenders, maybe shave, but I didint really wanna go hardcore (mostly cause I dont know anyone who can do it professionally)

depends on tire size... with a wide tire, it won't work even with rolling, unless you go crazy negative camber... with a narrow tire, you will probably have to roll still...

the wheels may be at whatever offset, but the wheel will either stay flush with the lip's outside edge(high disk)(Work Emotion), leave a little lip (med)(5zigen fn01r-c), or make it difficult for brakes (low)(Work VS-SS)

someone can correct me if i'm wrong...i don't know the technicals, just the basics behind it.
