KW V3 coilovers - unknown amount of drop.
I want to say -2.5 camber all around, but I'd have to dig up my last alignment paperwork.

Thanks for all the detailed pics!

Perhaps if I was full lock at speed and hit a pothole.

I hit a decent sized dip in a 55mph zone today and heard the faintest of rubs from the front, so I think I'll have another half degree added in for additional peace of mind, but otherwise no issues.

Seems like the NT555s run a bit wide. Not nearly as bad as the Federal SS595, but I had 255/35 RS3s on 9.5" rotas and it had a baby stretch. I put these NT555s on the same wheel and it had no stretch whatsoever, so YMMV with camber settings and these wheels.

I have my standard morning commute tomorrow AM, including train track crossings and the nightmare of road conditions associated with those areas. I'll report back once I am at work.

@DarrenDriven can you add these to the Wheel Directory?

Update: no real clearance issues. I only heard one tiny rub when I went over the train tracks by my work at ~45mph. Nothing I am going to concern myself with.

Probably the most bang for buck wheel at the moment. The only gripe I have is the color they come in. Still waiting on someone to powder coat these babies to something different. They should look hot in silver.

Hey guys, here's my baby on GPF1s (17x9 squared) with 245/40/17 PSSs. Still have to make some adjustments as far as ride height goes (just out some KW V3s on this weekend as well) but definitely need some spacers in the rear as there is some poke in the front.

Nice!

Some camber in the front will fix that poke and make it handle better.
