45 in the front, 35 in the back, 17x9's all around. I was planning on doing a staggered setup with 17x10's in the back and 17x8's in the front, but I would've had to do MAJOR surgery to get the rears to fit.

I did have to notch the rear lower control arms like a few others have done, but that was simple.

I've got the eccentric front bolts for camber, but it's not enough, they are at about 0 right now. I need camber plates.

Not too surprisingly, against everything I've read, there are no clearance issues with regular Koni shocks and Eibach springs, coilovers are definitely not needed.
