+1 Hil.
Right now you are seeing positive camber due to suspension geometry. Once the suspension is loaded back on the ground, natural camber will take its place to bring the wheel in a bit.
After some calculation, you'll need a mild stretch to fit depending on your drop and tire choice.
Is it just me or am I starting to see more and more of the these odd widths now? Haven't seen very many x.75" wheels until the past couple of weeks.

You won't be able to tell until you put a tire on it and drop it down
Well so far most of the advice you've been getting has been from the wrongfitstretch crew, so I'll say that those wheels are going to be too aggressive for a correctly sized tire unfortunately. Maybe think about a wider front fender?

Im running the same width rim in the front with the same offset on 19" wheels and it looks perfect. I didnt even have to run a stretched tire to do it. I did do a little rolling but nothing drastic at all. It only rubs a little when I hit a bump at higher speeds or turn very sharply (i.e. getting out of my driveway) etc.
I am lowered 1.5" in the front on some Espilir's FWIW.
Good Luck with the fitment- post some pic's when she's done

This thread needs a few things:
1. you need to put on some tires.
2. you need to lower the car.
3. take a picture of the car on the ground and off the jack.
Until then, this thread is really useless.

2. It is lowered (1") just not crazy lowered
3. It is off the jack in the 2nd and 3rd set of pics
I'm going to ask an obvious question: has your car ever been wrecked in the front ? If so things may be a little out of whack and you can only tell with close clearances. Also, how is your front alignment ? Worn bushings could cause the wheel to be a little out of spec.
