Installed 5mm spacers and adjusted to about -2° camber. This allowed me to run the 17x9 wheel in the front with the 245/40 tires.
It's a really close fit. Both at the bag and the fender. I can't dump the bags at the current front strut level, but that's not a big deal. I will be picking up some 225's for the front. Will also be picking up some longer studs. Still debating between the Nismo and the ARP's.

Ok, so yesterday I took a stab at installing thhe tank and compressor. This is v 2.0. But it did get everything under the cover and in the spare tire area.
Not too pretty, but functional for now. I'll see how I like it and if I want to make more changes before I cut down the air lines and clean up the wiring.

Installed ARP wheels studs on the front of the car today. Mainly I wanted the added security due to the spacers.
With the 5mm spacers and the Blox long lug nuts, the studs don't stick out either.

Your car is amazing. The fitment in the front is perfection imo. I love that you decided to run 17s instead of 18s unlike the majority of people i've seen. That being said, i'd really appreciate it if you posted more pictures of the entire car aired out. Also, nice touch with the white fueled by hate sticker.

I'll see about getting more pics. Still waiting for the new tires to show up for the front, so I can't completely dump it yet.

Got the new tires on the front today. Now running 225/45-17's on a 17x9 +42 wheel with 5mm spacer in the front. Still a little closer to the air bag than I hoped for. May adjust the camber in the front a little.
