Which factory wheels did you have? If they're the duck feet..ya I really don't like them either but lowered with spacers and it actually makes them look way better.
Take some pics when you get her back

As much as anybody, I don't have any love for the OEM exhaust tips. But they are stainless steel, and will clean up nicely with minimal effort.
Here's a tip that might seem crazy, but is actually fine for these things. Wash them first, then go over the finish with 4-naught (0000) steel wool, then use a quality metal polish.

-3.4, and honestly it doesn't look like the wheel is tilted (I like). I'm shocked actually. Toe is good too, according to shop. Steering Wheel stays flat, drives Normal, doesn't rub over bumps.
HoldmyMouse: Factory cams are adjustable. Eibachs (at least mine) have some room between tire and fender, especially with my old 19's; whatever they did it worked fairly well... I'm sure if I put a couple hundred pounds in the back ill be rubbing again, though.
Anyway I'm satisfied thus far, and hopefully the neg camber won't completely demolish my tires anytime soon.
I'll post pics ASAP.

Jealous !
Ughh I hate you, you got the wheels that I have been wanting so bad for my sedan! looks awesome but rear tires are sticking out.. put some negative camber in the back or just get smaller size tires and stretch them or both...
looks great !
BTW where'd you get the GTR wheels? bought new from the dealer or got some source selling them for a good price or anything like that? Need some info on this since I know they're hard to find... today I saw an awesome ridiculously gorgeous blue ( never seen that color before) FX45 with GTR wheels some kind of exhaust ... that was HOT!

So do I get bonus points for predicting your camber within a tenth of a degree?
I assume the tires are outside bias, may have to remount them every 4Kmiles so they'll last more than a couple oil changes. Can't wait to see pics & post your alignment printout if they gave you one (and I'd be demanding one in your case). So glad you got the fit you wanted, that's awesome!

Do people really run wide tire 20's without ANY rubbing issues as far as carrying weight in the rear??
