Guard rolling front for sure and maybe rear as well depending on how low you want to go. That extra inch makes all the difference
http://sydneyguardrolling.com.au/Nelson is a expert and I highly recommend.

Did you have any camber? People talk about natural camber gain..
My wheels are straight as in zero camber and on shocks and springs, so I can't go lower. I want the look you have, just scared of being outside my front fender yet again and being defect noticed..again
The look you have is perfect though.. Spot on
Sorry for the repeat question

You will gain negative camber as you lower the car naturally. It normally has a positive effect on the handling characteristics of the car. That is as long as everything is dialled in accordingly as well.
To be honest I really don't know what the alignment specs are at the moment. I haven't had it aligned for a while, but there is a little bit of neg camber on the wheels.

That's 16x8.25 +15 so it's 8mm wider than what your talking about. I have - 3 camber on the front and rear

Are these a staggered fitment?

No same specs all round.
If you have a look in garage chat. Corey's Nb journal. I think his first set of wheels were the same specs that your asking about too

Looks great. About as far as I'd go without it being obvious cop bait.
