My setup is by no means aggressive, but I suppose it's still somewhat useful information.

Wheels- Enkei RPF1
Sizes/offsets- 16x8 +32 F/R
Tires- Toyo T1-R
Sizes- 225/50R16 F/R
Optional info- Unmolested fenders, Stance GR+ Coilovers, AWR Rear Adjustable Camber Links, Camber bolts on front struts, -1.5 deg camber F/R, 0 toe F/R

The tires are a little stretched, but I was worried about trying to fit 245/45R16's. With camber plates and bolts in the front there is literally 1/8" of space between the tire and spring perch and it's damn near flush with the fender. I will try the 245's next, at least in the rear where there is plenty of space, but I want a square setup. I'm am a little worried about the fronts, but the overall tire width should not change.

The rear camber is not ideal (-1 would be nice) but I've pretty much max'd out the camber adjustment on the passenger's side. I plan on adding an adjustable lateral link to dial out most of the initial negative camber then use the camber links to make the sides equal. With this I'd like to lower the rear another 0.25".

Sorry for the large pictures...

It doesn't have to be aggressive, and believe it or not, you probably are helping or will end up helping someone decide on a setup for their own vehicle by posting your info, so thank you! That's why I wanted this thread.

Woops sorry forgot to put the specs up. I don't remember the offsets off hand, I would have to pull the wheel to see. BTW thanks man.
Wheels : Simmons of Australia "Altas"
Size: 17"x10.5" front & 17"x12" rear
Tires: Kuhmo Ecsta V700's
Size: 275/40-17 front & 335/35-17 rear
Suspension: Tokico Illuminas, RB front end lowering kit, Eibach's on coilover sleeves ect. Pretty simple here front end needs to be lowered, but I have it up to get on to ramps & a trailer for now.
