These are my old wheels. Yes sos was selling the 57xtreme. I dont forsee any fender damage as im rolled paper thin and slight pull junky. I do fear it may rub on full lock to counter that I will add some neg camber and if need be raise it up. Fingers crossed.

I think the ones SOS sells are s2k spec offsets.

Ok guys want to update.
New wheels are one. Front was easy with raising the car an inch. Going to lower it about .25
Junky you were right about the rear. I had to raise it .5 inch and still rubs bad @-3 camber. Im going to add camber fr and rr. Front to -2.5 and rear to -3.5. I should be ok.

Question is I just got an alignment last month. By lowering and raising I assume its out of alignment now? Im sure it is as my car feels jerky I guess. Perhaps its the star specs? They feel as if each wants to go its own direction if that makes sense.

Here is a few pics.
