Car rubbed a little bit all around under hard cornering. Also was damn near impossible to run the corner lights at this height with this wheel setup. If I did it again, I'd get LCAs up front to widen the track and go up to about -3 camber. More inward clearance, and I would be able to ditch the spacers.
Another pic to show how dead on the fitment was up front.

Hey man, thanks a lot for this post. I've been reading countless threads and posts for the last few weeks and this one especially helped me a lot. I've been reading basically everything on these cards because I want to get the 2017 model, which is in the last quarter of this year, just as I finish my university studies. I am planning to order the Todoroki Fenders and some Work CR 2P (GTS colour) rims: 18x9.5. I'm looking to get 255/35/R18 tyres as I personally concluded that it'll be perfect for my daily and it suits the power of the car. I'm planning to drop the height by 1" with springs. The reason is that adjustable coilovers are illegal here in Australia, however non-height adjustable ones are not. I could not find coilovers that are not height adjustable. If anyone knows any, please let me know! Also, Australia doesn't tolerate tyres sitting outside of the body.
I'm still deciding on my offset, and I was thinking of going +38 with a 25/30mm spacer in the front, as yours ended up having a +16 offset with a 265 wheel. So a 255 tyre with +8 offset would be around the same. As for the rear, I don't think I need any adjustments to the fenders as it's a mere 255 with +38 offset. The reason I'm going for spacers is so I can swap out the tyres without having to buy new ones. I'll wait and see how flush the rear wheels are before buying spacers for them, because I really don't know what will be the perfect fit.
What do you think about my plans? I know I don't have the car yet but I just want to make sure I've made every effort possible as to avoid any mishaps and misalignments, etc, and so I can order the rims & fenders two months beforehand.
