No I don't, I'll have to take some tomorrow. I got lots of camber on the rear to make it fit and am about to buy some 5mm spacers to put up front. I'm running 215/40 tires
Where do you get the spacers? I have the identical size set up you have and Im not liking the way the front wheels line up to the body...

a couple days late, but here they are. I'm planning on getting 5mm spacers very soon to see how it looks then.

225/35/18 S-drives
Rolling/Pulling:
Front - rolled flat and slight pull
Rear - rolled flat and pulled seriously I think an inch or so (which ironically looks somewhat widebody like because of the way the fender is in the rear. Very satisfied!
Alignment: TBD (gonna probably have to do camber bolts all around. More negative in the front which will help turn in and fit a little better, and a little more in the rear for slightly better (peace of mind) fitment.

Tokico Blues

Looks good....what tires are you running?
Here are the pics as promised: (I know I`m no photographer, not trying to be)
Things to note:
Both rear fenders had inner rust before trying to roll them which is why they look a little bad towards the back. Spring time I`m gonna fix all that and blend it better before paint. Also want to do retrofits and tint the orange sidemarkers black. Then project DD will be done.

Thanks man!
I got a buddy who does great retrofits locally. Me and him will more then likely do them over winter time together
Thanks!!! Tires are Nankang NS-1's 215/40
They are soft but surprisingly sticky, once they grab... they go. Not so good in the rain but not a bad tire for the price
