I had the same problem, except my wheels haven't came in yet.. I was running the stock 19's and it was tuckin tire all the way around.. i was talkin to dean at tire rack, he said that they thought it was 1.2 and 1 also.. i went and tryed to get an alignment and played hell trying to find someone to do it.. after finding a place i found out the the camber in the front was -2.6 and -2.3 in the rear.. way out of spec without any adjustments.. still wait to find a fix for the front.. i went ahead and took the h&r's off and returned them for the eibach, which should be releases in about a week according to eibach.. the front spring is done bein engineered, the rear is almost complete...
hope this helps..

Nah I don't have a camber or toe kit.. The way i looked at it, why should i spend an extra 500 for the the stillen rear camber and toe kit when the car is still gonna ride like it has not springs in it.. I spoke with the guys at tire rack and he had recommended getting the kit with the eibachs, but he said i might be able to use the factory adjustments in the rear first.. As soon as i get them in ill fill ya guys in with some details and pics..

Keeping springs and going down in front tire size to 245 35 20 in BFG.
This should work out ok from my calculations.
I will have 1/2 inch inside walls less and about 5/8 less on each side hopfully equals no rubbing.
The look is so badass.
