I know it's possible. You will need to flare the fronts though, that is inevitable. In the rear, just a roll, maybe ever so slight pull, and ~2.5-3 degrees negative camber.

i dont think itll look right with standard ride height..iv got 17 x 8 front and 17 x 9 rear both +35 bronze rota torques. -2 camber front -3 rear, lowered about 40mm on coilovers... ill put some pictures up or something

(edit: just realised you put "proper ride height" and not standard )
