Some new pics... playing with spacers
I promised I'd get a few quick pics up after my new tires, spacers, etc. were on the car...so here we go. Still not anything super-aggressive, especially since I have two turns left on my Tanabe coilovers on all four corners and they are f-ing STUCK...so pissed.
Anyway this is my wheel/tire setup:
MRR HR2 in 18x9 all around +35 offset
Falken FK452's 225/40/18 for a mild stretch
KICS spacers, 10mm front/ 20mm rear
I also rolled my fenders b/c my last set of un-stretched tires had about 5mm of clearance.
Thinking about adding another 5mm sandwich spacer in the rear, and then maybe going to actually get an alignment...haha. All opinions welcome.

ya, only problem is my coilovers are stuck in their current position...which means I will prob have to let my car sit all weekend long in my buddies shop to let some type of penetrating solvent do it's thing. I cranked on those bitches as hard as I could and they arent budging.
Anybody have any recommendations on a penetrating agent besides plain old WD40 or something?

PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench. Both are more powerful than WD40.
Spray it on the collar liberally on both the top and the bottom--around as much of the circumference of the shock body as possible. Let it soak in overnight and try turning it. IF it doesn't move, spray it the same way again--wait overnight and try again. I'd be truly surprised if this didn't do something.
