Eibach prokit w/ 17x11 +36.5mm offset. 315/35/17 tires. Rubbed a lot upon initial mounting, but BFH'd the wheel well's and cut/tucked/rolled the lip on the fender and now there are no problems. Not my car anymore, though. Sold it to 777 on here.

Using jounce spacers will be neccessary if you ever drive your car into corners hard. It will rub when you get back on the gas through the middle of the corner. With a bit of rolling on the fender lip, jounce spacers, adjustable panhard bar, and BFHing the inner wheel well you can pull the corners hard without any rub. If you don't drive extremely hard you can get away with less.

I had 315's with the sportlines and they only rubbed the inner fender well in one spot the size of a quarter. No problems with them hitting the fender at all.

i just did mine with TT11's and gsd3's rolled the fender and had to "massage" the fenderwell. that was easier than the rolling. not rubbing anymore. i have my adjustable shocks set up to road race level.
