okay got mine mounted up this weekend and it didnt go as smoothly as planned only because I had some clearance issues with the MPerformance brakes in the front.

Here is my setup, Keep in mind these are my track wheels hence the aggresive tire size and offset
18" x 8.5 ET37
255/40 Yoko Neova ADO8

Rear fitment is perfect
Fronts were hitting the caliper so I used a 10mm spacer to clear

The 255/40's are a little beyoned squared on the 8.5 so the front is poking outside the fender by a good 1/2". Gonna try and get it on the alignement rack today to see how much negative camber we can dial in (not expecting much). The front fenders can be rolled so I may try that later on.

Despite the less than ideal front fitment, on the street they only rub when encountering the dreaded high-speed dip. So being track wheels I'm concerned with high speed cornering and sweepers

Hopefully there will be some camber plates coming to market in the near future, but worse comes to worse I trade out the 255/40 for 245/40 in the front and call it almost square

i'll snap some pics next chance i get
