What size wheel and tire are you going to be running?

I have 19's with 215/35-19's. From the lip of the fender to the tire, I'd say theres less then 1/2" maybe alittle less. Its has settle quite nicely!

Ok, so the gap is a lil more than 1/2 inch :oops:
A 1/2 inch is a lot smaller on a ruler lol Sorry.
The front is about an inch from the edge of the fender to the top of the wheel.
The rear is about 1 1/2 inch...a little less.
When you are standing above the car and not eye level it looks like they are almost tucking. It looks very nice. I am at work right now, so I can't post pictures, but I will when I get home. I washed and waxed her this morning and took pics, so I do have them.

It does camber in quite a bite, but to remedy the issue would be pointless right now, IMO. If all goes well, Hotchkis will be releasing there camber correction kit late Jan. early Feb. so I've heard. Hopefully that will help those of you that are bothered by it.

As I've learned...as long as you get your alignment fixed, you should be in good shape, as for the adjustments for the rear...well you'll have to wait alittle longer before you can correct the rear. I'm not saying its not do-able, but the factory camber plates, only adjust so far...sure it might fix the problem for the 1" coil springs, but 2" or more and your gonna have to go aftermarket. PLus why go and have it done twice, when you can have it done once to save time and money.

nice post, and great pics to go along with em. Too bad i live in such a hilly neighborhood and have such a steep ___ driveway... i'd never make it up my narrow and steeply angled driveway without scraping... thats why i never went up it for the 4 years i had my integra dropped on neuspeed race.
