OEM is 52mm.

Just a thought - a 25mm doesn't quite get the fronts as flush as the rears. I think 30mm would be ideal - but not sure I'd want to add that much since there isn't much thread left on the lugs. Some of this camber, but not as much as you would think. Sorry for potato quality - all I have right now since OEM wheels are still on the car.

These are with the extended ARP studs (3.41in).

not sure if it makes a difference but i have an R. so i think i don't need new studs on the front as the R's are longer than the base. i want all the wheels to be the exact same and i'll run a spacer up front.

Your studs are longer, but I don't believe the geometry of your hubs are different (meaning I think physically they're in the same place in the wheel well). If so, I'd try a 30mm up front. Paul or one of the other wheel vendors might have more info on spacers and fitment, though.

for some reason i thought you were talking 30mm offset on the wheel. yes, at some point i will be doing camber plates and the FP springs, so a 30mm might be best, as long as there is enough stud to grab onto.

i plan on doing a track day at the ridge sometime this summer. i'll let you know when. and twice a year we rent out spokane, would you be interested in joining us? there is an april event planned and a september event planned. cost is 400 for all day and includes 2 dinners and a lunch. great deal and a great group of people.
