Just out of curiosity, how does a 1" drop (from the Pro Kit) increase the offset? The Flush Wheel Offset Chart says that to be flush with a 1" drop, front wheels that are 8.75" wide need an offset of 42-48.

My offset is 33 so looks like there'll still a way to go! I was also told not to change camber as it will wear out tyres.
With an inch drop it still changes a lot within the suspension. I noticed people that are on stock suspension that the front wheels sticks out way more than mine that is dropped which is why I came to the conclusion. Now changing camber, if you go past -2 camber you will start seeing lots of wear but with your camber at about -1.25 to -1.5 that's not much camber. I will say that you might wanna rotate front tires back n forth and flipped them to even wear out but from what I have been told been many friends who are running crazy camber that a -1.25 in the front won't do anything to wear and you'll have a better response in turning . Now another route you can take is just simple crash bolts! Those you can get some camber, I believe about an inch the most and those are used anyways for if a car gets into an accident and alignment shop can't get it into factory spec so they put those on to fix it up. If you don't wanna go thru tread wear go this route. But if you can put up with rotating tires a little bit more than go with camber bolts so you can have the ability to change out some camber if you decide to autox
