Not entirely true.
I'm on 9.5 +34, lowered, don't rub, and it looks fine.
It does poke, but not that much, and I have 2.9 camber so it looks fine.
Please don't give misinformation. 8-10mm spacers on +45 would make it +35/+37ish which MOST people running 9.5 widths are running. So yeah they fit with minor poke depending on camber.

With that said, you probably need coil overs if you want to run 9.5 widths and want little to no poke.

The information I provided is NOT misinformation for this specific wheel on the vehicle.

The fact is that the wheels will poke out of the fenders. Whether it looks acceptable is subjective...

Unless if you keep the ride height very high, the spring/strut travel up/down over bumps will cause the tire to hit the fender.

Most people wouldn't want to run -2.9 camber on a street car...

Just the slotted hole on the strut tower. I don't have any camber plates.

What color are the wheels? Gunmetal or hyper silver? Great looking car!

Thanks. How do you like the ST coilovers? Would you recommend them?

@x18999 @DCStorm @loogs @Scaldy @Drue

For the guys who haven't adjusted caster (no front LCAs nor top hats), do you experience faint rubbing when you turn full lock (and worse when full lock on uneven ground)?

I'm on ST coilovers, -2.0 front camber with 18x9.5 +45 wheels and found signs of slight rubbing in my front wheel wells.
