I think the caster on the front wheels makes it look like you have a lot more camber.
Can we get some straight wheel shots

as you can see the fronts arent running much camber. rears are running a good bit, might need a spacer after the alignment

the offsets look really nice, 5 or 10mm in the rear would be HOT

is this 10.5 +18 ?

sure is. and yea i was originally going with a 10mm in the rear once i get my car aligned.

might throw jons 15mm on the rear and see how pushed out i would be to see if i need a 10mm or smaller.

I think you should do a 15mm. I'm running 10.5 +0 in the rears with a 275 tire. Since you are running 10.5 +18 then the 15mm would put you at +3 and you also are running 255 tires. It would be sick! A 10mm would be okay.. But if you want it extreme then go the 15mm. Just my .02

This was before I pulled my fenders more



And this is how your rim looks right now..



The Z world has taught me some things with offsets. I'm glad its come to my attention.
