Added some more aggressiveness!

Well, now they stick out! It's the only thing i really hate about volk wheels: they don't let you custom order widths and offsets. If they did, I'd get some 10" fronts and 11" rears and get this look without having to rely on spacers.
And you do need camber, just not too much of it. Those who don't want to run camber, well, don't. If i had some michelin ps2 tires, i'd worry about camber and tire wear. But should I be concerned about it with falken 452's ? I don't think so. Camber makes a car look sick (no more than -3) and corner better. To each his own. It's ok to disagree, but not ok to try and disprove solid facts. Camber can't possibly eat tires. It will wear one side of it a bit faster than the other, but then you can rotate them from left to right and wear out the other side. So in actuality, it's the same tire wear you'd get when running no camber at all.
And the specs for those wheels are 9.5/10.5, 17/18 offsets. Tires are 245/275.

You did 10mm spacers all around?Those are GT-S's, right? Are they TPMS compatible?
They are GTS, as stated in the original post... 10mm all around. And yes they are compatible with TPMS.

i'm not running them. Too much hassle.
To Robert K: It's one thing to say you don't like it, but what's with the oversized pic of your rear with 285 tires? I fail to see anything special there. If you're trying to show how wide they are, maybe you should zoom out a bit. Any tire will look massive up close. Please explain your post or otherwise it's a dick move.

Better?
I personally think it looks bad. Reminds me of the late 80's/early 90's mini-trucks with the bowed out look. You have a nice size tire there yet you're only using 40% of the inside of them.
I don't think it looks aggressive at all.

I think it looks great. I wanna buy spacers for my work S1's but cant decide on 10mm or 5mm. I have the 23\24 offsets and a 265 up front and a 285 in back. Im thinking 10mm would be perfect since i already have rolled and pulled quarters and have a fender roller of my own if i need to do more.
