Granted, I didn't do so well in physics in college, but how the hell does that tire tuck under the fender without pulling the fender?

When the suspension gets compressed it doesn't just go straight up. Easy way to check if it rubs is get a few of your friends to sit in the back and check the clearance.

I know about camber gain from racing RC, but I didn't realize that the Evo would/could gain that much camber on suspension travel. This is good news, that just means my eyes were deceiving me and I may be good to go on my setup. Much appreciated!

I made my drawing really extreme just for visual purposes. My own wheels look just like that though and they barely tuck past the fender.

I got my black RPF1s put on today and they look sick. However, I'm not really digging the exposed center hub look, since the rusty silver/gold clashes horribly with the flat black. I'm considering the chrome Enkei center caps, but... I have no other chrome on the car. I think they'd also stick out. So, what are my options?

I've seen the "Honda center cap mod" as well as the "2-inch knock out seal" mod... anyone here try either of those? Seems kinda silly to throw $30 worth of plastic on $1500 worth of wheels.

18x9.5 +15, wearing Dunlop Direzza ZII in 265/35R-18, on GTWorx springs. Rear fenders had to be rolled pretty hard, -2* camber front and back.

^^ Nice! exact same setup as mine, except I'm on springs. Didn't like the 4x4 mode to much.
