Eric,
Does the drillbit actually fit between the tire/wheel and the trailing link or does it rub when pushed in there? I know a 10" +38 wheel will clear the stock trailing arm, but I'd guess you be rubbing the tire pretty good with a 295.

Very cool. First time Ive seen them installed.
Back when I was looking for wheels, I steered clear of a 17x9.5 +38 due to very tight LCA clearances. Some guys were shaving down LCA's for clearance. (didnt want to do that) Ended up staying conservative w/a 17x9 +29
These LCA's are certainly not for the faint of heart

Hmmm random question....how are you running that sort of camber up front without eating up the inside edge of the tire? I realize these are photos of the rear so sorry for the off topic.
On stock bilsteins and swift spec R's I had about 2 degrees of camber up front. I zeroed out all the toe and my car ate through the inside edge of both front tires in about 500 miles of street driving. Wondering how to have negative camber without eating tires up so quick. Same thing happened to my Re01R at the track. Inside edge eaten totally away with two track days and about 500 miles.
