Seems I've struck a nerve and people have taken my comments personally. Comparing my car with "pro-kit" springs and "spacers" to this car that reminds me of the mexi-flush days complete with curb-feelers et al. ensues even more hilarity.

Carry on, I'll just take the high road from here on in.

I'm a fan of SSR wheels but that looks ridiculous. The side profile pic is deceiving, I actually thought it looked OK until I saw the other shots. The wheel offset and width is too extreme and the tires too skinny for that size.

Any particular reason for not getting some Type F's in 19x10.5 +15? I don't recall anyone running those wheels in 19's, would have been cool to see.

too big for my tastes. I think 10.5 is about as wide as you should go on an evo and that is pushing it. 10 inches is the most that looks semi normal without severely modifying the fenders

Although camber does play a role in uneven tire wear, toe is the major culprit. I do plan an "excessive" amount of tire rotation to conserve tire wear. I have reduced rear toe in as much as I could and the front has some tad bit of toe out for some fun.

FYI, I came from the g35/350z crowd and I've grown to cop aggressive wheel/tire setups like this and just adapted it to an Evo. Whether you like it or not, it's all good.

I love the whole "hella flush" movement, but damn! Those are really stretched. You might as well slam the car and complete the look. (for real)

You'd be surprised how mild the stretch is compared to most other "hellaflush" setups. I really do want to slam the car, but I cannot without moar camberz.
