Even with the spacers and calculating out the difference by getting extended LCAs, it still wouldn't be enough to clear the front fenders. I could MAYBE fit it with like -6 camber and 215/40s up front but even then it would be questionable and would cost be another $1,000 to get everything needed.

Too much money to spend on something that still probably wouldn't work; so I just said screw it and bought some temp wheels and started selling a bunch of stuff off haha
So without spacers, was it hitting something to begin with? Just trying to wrap my head around this as this is a fairly common size to run. Unless of course you're trying to achieve something other than just daily driving/occasional track days.
