The headlights have some black in them. That picture sucks, doesn't do the car justice at all. I'll post some good pics soon.

I'm going to take it to an alignment shop after work to see what they can do. Was reading somewhere on here that you can dial about 1 degree neg camber with stock arms.

When I finally get some decent pics, ill probably go nuts lol. Next project - BIG BRAKE KIT!

Sounds like some nice plans, those are seriously aggressive specs, ideally (4) of the front wheels would be an easier fit but like I said there's been a couple that have made it work w/ the staggered GTRs, being a sedan it's much tighter, I doubt they'll fit without a fender pull or really high camber (like in the -3.5 range) or a very stretched tire like 255s. Look forward to more updates, hopefully you can get them in there without serious work to the body. BTW, love the look of those rims on your car, and w/ a little pain you should get a lot of gain

This is a simple fix. I'm not sure why it's dragged on and on. There are several people that are running GTR wheels on their sedans. Sure, you can run fronts on all 4 corners in order to be at 20x9.5 +45. If that's not an option, the key is to run a rear tire of 245/35/20. Yes, it'll be slightly stretched, but you wont rub at -3.5 camber. The pics below are of someone doing just that, AND he's running rears on all 4 corners. Imagine that!

245/35/20 fronts (should of went 255/35/20) and 285/30/20 Rear.

Definitely rubs when there is added weight to the rear of the car. I need to eliminate this. Any suggestions?

Was thinking of dialing a little negative camber and a set of anti roll bars. Can the factory camber be adjusted to the rear, even if slightly?

Here is a terrible camera phone pic (Galaxy S4 broke so I'm left with a flip style phone for now.)

Pictures really don't do the look justice. It's very aggressive looking! Couldn't be happier with the outcome.

I'll add some better pics this afternoon.
