It will look good man! Keep your eye out for an earlier grill though as they look much better :)

Et20 with or without spacers? So without they would be et10 with them?

Camber is not enough!!! You need to roll the lip flat then push the arch out. Front will be a issue if you want to go really low. Put fall camber on the front too! Still might rub with pulled out arch.

Try getting smaller sidewall tyres. They give more room than narrow tyres.

Camber shims. Don't put the 20-20 at top. Have driver side at 18-18 and passenger side 22-22. Have numbers facing you when fitting on both sides.

If you want to go low then 17-17 and 23-23
