HOLY SH**!!! i am loving that.. sticks out way farther than the flares though, but oh well, i dont mind a little sticking out.. i would really love to have them flush, but all that camber stuff your talking about seems to difficult for a noob like me.. lol CANT WAIT to see the wheels on with tires and everything!

totally waiting to see how all this is gonna look.. i am on the verge of buying the same setup... but really leaning towards the staggered look though but if you can pull it off and it looks great then your my hero.. and i will be next in line....
thanks for the thread.. and good luck.. when do your tires get in and what size tires are you going to run.....

I was going to wait for another week on tires because its still snowing and i wont be able to enjoy these and i was awaiting a response on a potential sponsorship, but it looks like you guys wanna see how it looks, so ill prob just go get them friday. We'll see how the paycheck looks to be positive though. I am however going to be purchasing a set of 15mm spacers for the rear wheels to keep the rears at the same distance out as the front. Ive really been going back and forth about camber or no camber but have "poke" . A buddy of mine showed me this pic and it sealed the deal that im gonna go w/ poke
i really like how this looks w/ the flared fenders and stretched tires.
I'll be running 195/50/15 for a semi stretch look.

Ok, so the place I got my rear brake shoes replaced at over torqued the lugs on my back rims and i dont have an impact gun to get them off, so i gotta wait to put the back wheels on until i take teh car back down there for them to get the lugs loosened. But, here's pics of the front and how much it pokes out and stuff.
