From what I've seen, that width with that low of an offset, you're going to have maddd poke in the front.

Rear would require a lot of work too.

Yeah, from what I've heard is to try and stay <8.5 if you want to avoid fender work.

YEEEAAA BOOOY!!! DOOO IT...i wana see

my next setup is similar to those specs as well

i dont know if its gona have mad poke...but camber should do the trick...i just dont wana sacrifice my ride height for the setup but worst case scenario is to raise the car just a tad...a tad...n if that happens i might save some axles in the long run LOL

Same here, i dont want to raise my car up to fit these specs.

Dont know if JDM_UA5 has a camber kit.

I have a camber kit in the rear but im trying to run it as straight as possible.
