Wheel Fitment Issues

For spacers I would look into Project Kics. Does not require changing of longer studs, their spacers come with studs on itself. http://www.optionimports.com/kiprwhsp.html
btw, the car looks great.

if youre already rubbing with struts, youre probably not going to clear coilovers. thats just my guess. why dont you fix the camber instead of buying some spacers. because it looks like you have a pretty good amount of negative camber. then monday rolls around, and youll be all set. btw, what tires are those again. they look a little bit big for what youre trying to do.
btw, your car sure is looking really good right now.
goodluck

btw, there are two places to adjust camber for both fronts and rears. the usual way of doing it, is on the spindle/knuckle connector of the strut. the other way to do it is by adjusting the camber plate/ pillowball mounts. but this way is for aftermarket suspension setups. not stock. im maxxed out on negative camber already. and its not much at all. at least what i see.

yeah, youre right, but wrong at the same time. if camber is at 0 and you adjust so that the top goes out, then it is positive, and really really bad. if you adjust inwards, then you get negative camber, which is bad as well. but if you look at the pics, it looks like he has a good amount of negative camber to begin with. so going a little positive wouldve cleared the issue, but he didnt really have the issue, so he didnt have to do it.

im not sure. sometimes its real obvious, and sometime close to specs, its really hard to see. seeing in person is always better. but still hard sometimes. especially with stock wheel/tire setups, because of the wheel bulging.
but on smittys, you can clearly tell that he has negative camber(top of the wheel goes inward)
