Good to hear. I was worried I would rub. I only have GF-210 springs currently so camber adjustment isnt much of an option but I should be around -1.5* up front now anyway. I was actually more worried about the rear but you say no problems? Well hopefully with whatever camber I am at in the rear now I do not have issues. Worse comes to worse I will roll/shave the fenders. Man what a sick combo!!!

Hmm. I don't think you should have to worry too much about rubbing. What size tires were you planning to run?

Lord have mercy. IMO, it's so hard to find the right set of shoes for Evo's (in a cosmetic point of view), but the combination you've put together...WOW. I wanna have sex with your car--there I said it and I'm not ashamed!

You're right...

The shutter speed was a bit too fast, but you get the idea...

I've posted up these shots in the first post.

I may just have to take a road trip to sunny California just to steal your wheels.

UPDATED PICS:

Here's some updated pics so you can see how the color is different when it's darker out and not in direct sunlight.

Same size tires, Falken RT-615 245/40/18. I have read people with these tires and same offset (say with Advan RS wheels instead of RGII) that said they rub when at full lock in the front. But others have said they had no issues. All cars are different so it seems you either slightly rub or not rub at all. Either way I feel safe with my GF-210s. If I was slammed on coilovers I might be a bit more worried.

Always lookin out!

BTW: For those of you guys asking about rubbing. I actually went out and did some more "spirited" driving today after work, and I did notice quite a bit of rubbing up front during certain corners. I might roll the lip inside my fenders flat and stiffen my coilovers up a bit and see if it helps.
