So it seams like 17x9 +45 all around with 245 and 255 is the way to go for both aesthetics and performance. Anyone have this setup? Comments?

Yeah I agree its a good choice if you like the concave look front to back. The 245 will help a little in clearance, but still plan on rolling your fenders front and back and more aggressive camber up front will be needed over a typical street set up. Plan on running -2.5 up front, less aggressive can be had in rear if you choose. I prefer the sharper turn in of more camber up front anyhow, which is more appreciated certainly if you run a wider tire up front such as a 245 or 255. Will be a nice balanced set up on an Ap2.

Me too since its a RWD car, and of course for BBK fitment if you have or plan to have in the future, which isn't possible with the 9 +45. But everyone has their own taste or fitment requirements.

Sounds good. Yes I so plan on getting my fenders rolled. I'm going 17x9 all around because I can't stand the convex spokes.

Do these specs look good? Got them from someone running a 17x9+45 setup

front camber: -2.0
rear camber: -2.5
front toe: 0
caster: 6.0
rear toe: .15 total

I was just about to bite the bullet on a set of 17x9.5 +38, 17x8.5 +40 the other day. Although I still have the option, I also want something a little more unique =/

Looks good, I have -1.8 in the front on mine, but the difference isn't going to affect fitment at all. As for the rear I have the 10 +38 at -3.6 so you should be just fine with -2.5, maybe even less.
