DAMN!!!! thats impressive Isaac, got 285 to fit with just the rears done, yeah, i need to take care of that bumper bolt, talk about bang for your buck aggressive setup, white looks crazy on black..
Ok, I have some crappy pics because I just got them on and the fender work done. No rubbing at all and the fronts are untouched except for the tab modification I made up today. I'll do it to your car when I take the wheels to you Vee 
Thank for everything man!
Specs are 19x10.5 +22 with a 285/30 tire (thanks arnold)
Fender mods are as follows:
Rears have been rolled and the tab relocated.
Fronts have had the fender liner trimmed a bit and the tab removed. I also bent the forward liner retaining tab upwards. I didn't even need to use my roller on the fenders at all, front or rear. Took it for a drive and drove it hard. No rubbing at all!

love your car blxmjx, how do you like your tires...i loved my t1r's on my STi.
you should try a hankook tire if you want the same type of feel and a cheaper price..the ventus is a very nice tire

Thought i'd joined on the fun.. Fitment was frustrating at first but i'm almost done and in the clear, i hope, just need to take care of some bolts.. Spunky will take care of that, hehehe
19x10.5 +22 TE37, 3mm spacers in front required for caliper clearance, barely too, enough to slide a credit card in between, Dropped on KW, finger gap all around, -2 in the front and -1.8 in the back, on 275/35 S-drives, 35s are kinda fat, but looks beastly.. Rolled and slightly flared on all corners, again still bolt issues when turning, but that's it.
Sorry for the crappy iphone pics
