    Post up any updated pics you all have. Please include tire(+brand) and wheel specs.

    Fenders rolled all around, TCK coilovers, no camber plates. Perfect fitment!

    I got the non-concave Arc8s in 17x9 and the fronts are rubbing my coilovers, even with a 10mm spacer. What, do I need a dang 15!? Thats sooo wide...

    What spacer are you running with the concaves??

    Im only running a 5 in the front but could get away with a 2, no spacer in the rear. The 9.5 wheel requires at least a 10 in the front.

    Thanks! I was torn between the two for the longest time. IMO in the sunlight the hyperblacks look soo good, though in the dark though they dont shine as bright and id prefer the hypersilver.

    i wanted a bit more of a non-oem look so i went hyperblack. id say for a silver car hypersilver all the way.

    No spacers.

    I got the 9" fronts specifically so I didnt have to run spacers, that and I wanted some stagger. There is comfortable(finger or 2) room between the strut(koni) and the wheel. It really depends on your suspension though, some brands have wider struts than others.

    Could you take some pictures from almost directly behind the car? i.e. some that show off the concavity? I'd love to see that. It looks great from the picture you posted!

    Size of wheels, tire specs please.

    Also the concave RC's in 17's I believe are 302's.
