18x9 +30, "semi"-rolled in the back.
I have some aggressive negative camber in the rear to get by without a full roll, at the expense of tire thread wear.. i occasionally rub on bigger dips and when the car is angled getting out of a driveway or something..
It rubbed like crazy when I just put them on without the neg. camber..

Ray dremel with the carbide grinder bit will do it i removed some metal in my trunk using it when i was fabricating a bracket to mount my led resistors for the tail light. I have portable desktop grinder wheel that would work right? Its in brooklyn and i might be headed there tomorrow.

^Holy crap premix = premature pump failure. I bet you could have gotten away with just cleaning the sock now......That is crazy but i guess it took 2 years to get like that. Oh nice woman pointing to the fuel pump in the first pic lol.

this is how the are supposed to be.....

by the way, FOR RX8 owner, My fuel pump was from Mazsport, you guys can see teh different pump size. it doesn't say that big pump means bigger pressure, but the volume wise, my mazsport is really good. but , you can see the WELBRO is much smaller than my mazsport pump , volume wise, but i don't know the pressure for mine, but WELBRO is 255LPH. just some information for you guys....

Premix? it's good, just get ready to keep cleanning the Filter every 20K miles...

steven
