17x11 front help im having trouble finding a good answer on this. i autocross/hpde my car, lowered on bmr springs with 1" lowering control arms, plus a spacer to only make them 1/2" lowering arms. i have adjustable upper control arms as well. i want to put the 17x11 zr1 wheels on the front of the car i think there a 50 offset. will this work with running a -2 on the camber? i dont really want to run spacers if i can help it, and im ok with cutting the car if need be to make things work. thanks in advance all!

You have to run a spacer. The clearance issue will be with the spindle, not the fender or frame. The negative camber will help tuck the tire under the fender lip as the suspension compresses.
Edit: keep a close eye on those lower control arms. Lots of force travels through the lower arms, and aftermarket ones have had issues with failure in the past.

Damn... I really don't like spacers when racing the car... but I guess it is what it is... any idea why my 17x9 would be rubbing the back of the lower control arm only on the pass side? Castor is set the same on both sides...
