That is the solution. My setup you quoted previously is 18x10 +28 all around which got me dead on flush for the rear and a slight poke on the front. That plastic on the top right of your pic is completely cut via dremel and shoved up in my car on the rears. The only thing the tires can possible brush is the plastic left over from grinding down the tab that connects the rear bumper to the fender which has reduced all the way to the fastener itself. Everything else was modified by cutting or grinding. I run my coil overs on the stiffer side of the setting as well.

If someone is running near the low 30's offset close to my +28 or less, you're going to need -2.5 camber or more to make this work. Mine are currently at -2.5.

For anything +35 or more offset with a 18x10, you should be clear using what I mentioned without needing too much negative camber.

they are all in one box, and as you can imagine mine were in the last one I opened. So by the time I got to the 4th I was praying/crying they would be there.

No these are Hoss-05's, I am just holding onto them for him for a couple of months. But I only opened one box and there were no center caps. I didn't want to open every box, but I guess I better just to make sure they are there.

I was going to go with a +38 but Forgestar really pushed the +42 saying it's the best for RX-8s... *shrug*
