Decided to get this done with the stock 19 sport wheels.
I chose 15mm around for now (20mm for the rear was ordered but it was a 6 week delay). It's 3 deg negative camber now, and I'm awaiting the vert camber kit availability so I have enough room if it's cambered within spec with a camber kit.

The fronts can go out some more, but it's enough of a difference from stock that I'm ok with it. Given that it's a 2 inch drop and I cruise the mtns the current spacing should be enough clearance not to do damage.

The rear fender lining was trimmed also, going over bumps on the rear only I can feel some rub on the liner only, so I'll be getting some more trimmed.
Cell phone pics for now until the next shoot.

Thanks B. I'm gonna wait till the camber kit comes in, get some correction and see where they sit with H&R springs. I suspect I'll still be under the fender with the the tire. I actually have to get the rears changed out so I'm thinking going 255/40/19 for the rear (I have 275/35/19 now). Then if needed upgrade to 20mm.

No spacers up front.

If you are contemplating spacers, there are several options but do not cheap out! Buy a good hubcentric spacer and I personally prefer a style with the studs already attached like the Ichiba v2 (which is what I used). Be sure to install them correctly and torque all bolts to the proper spec in the proper order (star pattern). This may be common knowledge for some but I have heard of many cars having vibration issues when the spacers we not installed correctly.

I'm more of a fan of replacing the studs, but either works good.
