        I just figured out a way to run camber plates with the bags infront so im running negative 3 camber in front and the wheel offset is 8.5 ET 0

        Everyone has their own taste. I respect that. The car scene has become so influenced on what wheels and how the car sits. If I didnt put wheels on this thing, sadly it would be ignored. Thats how the scene is here in Montreal.

          Who cares about being noticed? You should have done the wheels in a 2-2.5" setup or a 2.5" square lip setup. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wheels, they are gorgeous, the car looks amazing too...but that wheel fitment looks REALLY horrid. Do your stretch thing and get the fender between the tire and rim, but you went so far out it just looks bad. Tires goes inside the fenders not outside them. The front looks nice and I am putting my hatred of stretch on the sidelines for that, it looks good. Fix the rear and remove the M valve cover, Cams do not make an S engine anymore than a US s50 makes it an M engine ;)

          For someone that says they don't care what others think...you seem to complain people just notice the wheels and fitment. You built a "stance car", if you cannot hammer it through corners without damaging things...you have a car for looks. 1+ for better setup before, fix the rear or just run the old wheels. The camber adjustment is not going to fix that much poke.

          Don't get upset, I love the hard work and attention to detail...you just did not pay attention to the rear fitment.

            I freaking love the wheels. I do agree on the rear fitment, though. Why not just go with .5" smaller lips?

              But i want the rear to poke, just not that much. If the rear camber adjustment wont fit that much poke, I'll stretch smaller tires.

                You could stand for 1" less poke, that is why I think the 3.5" rear lip is WAY too much for the e30 fenders.

                Car looks good, carry on.

                  ^A bit more camber would make those wheels work nicely.

                    If the rear had similar fitment to the front, that shit would be money.

                      He's gonna be fine with the camber kit guys. He has 16x10 et08 rear like I had and my fitment wasn't so bad.
