Okay...alignment at 4pm today...
I'll set driver side to same as passenger side camber then get the toe set up...
if I'm still only mildly rubbing with 3 adults in the car...I might just let it ride or see where it's touching and roll a tad bit with more time and patience (I was frustrated yesterday).
If not, spacers off.
I can't get over how great and aggressive she looks low and wide though, especially in the rear!

along with that penile reduction so you can shove more than halfway in before girls passout...
amirite?!?!
You are old school...and I'm realizing I might be too.
Let me just do this...alignment and see what's what...if it ain't rubbing, I love the look. If it is, they come off and I'll sell them.

Chisel plus a tie down strap for alignment adjustment......I mean what could possibly go wrong with that.

You guys...
I love that hashtag!
GM Owner is right!
Hmmm...so align with some negative camber to keep spacers on...or correct the camber which will raise rear and make ass more flush anyway
gonna have to contemplate that...I kinda want to know what camber angle I'm at right now...

To me these 4 pictures say the stance is absolutely perfect. Make whatever adjustments are needed to keep it.

There is one other option you can do though if you don't want to run spacers but want the flush look.
Move the rear wheel to the front of the car. Have the front wheels widened to 10.5in and then stick them on the rear with a nice 305 tire. No spacers required.

That's a great suggestion, Jason!
LMAO...
I honestly think that after the alignment I'll be in business...I bet I'm not worse than -3 camber...if that...which as you already know doesn't kill your tires if your toe is set properly.
I can't disagree, the stance looks absolutely perfect. If I'm that close to success, no sense in bailing that easily. You're right.
I can also say that after lowering and doing spacers, I am not rushing out to buy aftermarket wheels. I seldom like the ones people are putting on their V's...no lie. And the ones I do lie, I am too cheap to buy.
LOL.
In reading some threads too...I realized that to keep that comfort, I'd probably get 19's again and not go 20. Lowered, the 19's fit the body perfectly and there's enough room in them fenders to run nice chunky tires regardless so ride is smooth.

I was incorrect. You still need spacers up front so that the rear wheel will clear the brakes.

You gotta keep it as is. If the alignment doesnt solve the issue find a reputable shop to roll the fenders. That or bring it by me, ill take care of it for ya.

Not planning on it!
It would take more money than I'm willing to spend to get nice wheels and I'm not going down the "good enough" just to say I have aftermarket wheels.
We're starting to save for a pool too!

Take the tough road, do it right and sit back and reap the admiration from those who know what a job done right looks like

Dude, you didn't choose that avatar?
The other day I was at the grocery store...loaded up the baby and parked up front to wait for Mom and wife to come out...
It was fun standing there watching random strangers ogling the damn thing as they walked by.

Your being generous with that highway number. Real generous. I managed a whopping 18mpg on the highway with my latest trip to Pittsburgh and back. Might have had something to do with my average speed though.

*edit* - Well I guess my records prooved me wrong. In one year of ownership my best 4 tanks are 20.8, 19.9, 19.4, and 19.4. Everything else is in the 18s. My guess is those were on flat roads doing the speed limit.
