Geoff, I wasn't saying you could run different offset wheels... I was saying that it reduces the positive scrub radius. Compared to stock I'm 20mm MORE positive scrub radius. I'd be interested in seeing the difference in scrub radius as its projected from the strut tower, through the ball joint, and onto the ground.
this is what i am going for:
you can buy these sheet metal pieces from mitsu and then weld them on additionally over the stock ones

Any ideas for going more narrow in the back while keeping the same offset front to back and not using spacers?
I guess going wider in the front is better then going more narrow in the back, other then tire clearance. I'm running the 275/35/18 on 9.5 x 22 wheels and they were a PITA to fit. Can't imagine going wider LCAs without going to a wider front fender at this point.

Awesome Build!!
I've got some questions???
-Using the Evo X LCA what impact does it have on Roll Center?
-In the rear. I saw you don't have bump steer correction kit?? Why did you choose not to use this?
And a comment on the stitch welding.. Awesome Idea I've been tig it.. You are right its not fun at all. Its way to thin and any contaminants pop out blowing holes. Not fun but a great Idea.

i dont know how you can try and tig the seams... that is masochistic.. We have (14) different tig welding setups here at full-race and i would not want to try any! a good 220V mig is all you need

-evo X lca will widen track width, and improve roll center. I used the whiteline kit which further improves roll center, and adjusts for bumpsteer. Additionally i used a perrin PSRS kit to add caster, and move the 275 tires away from the sideskirt
