you will be 5mm more aggressive than my work setup as I am at x9.5 +25.
its good you went with the falken 512 because they fit a little smaller and that size is more like a 215... should fit good.

alright... you may need arms or the whiteline bushings for the rear if you have to do more camber than what the static drop gives you.
you will need to make the car pretty low with a good bit of camber to make these look good in all honesty... otherwise youll have mexipoke.

im running about -3º all the way around.

no worries man!
a 9.5 +35 would be about perfect... you could get rid of some of the camber all the way around and still be low.

I was wondering about that.

Did you raise it up and take it back to the dealer after?
