I am thinking of running a 17x9.5 +35 up front with my +20mm J's Front guards do you think that will fit with a little negative camber?

Are you still on RSX suspension or do you have the JDM LCA and brembo conversion? If you are on Brembos that will be fine, but if you still have Type S knuckles/LCAs then I would go for a lower offset to make sure the wheel/tyre clears the coilover. Anything between +30 and +20 should be fine with a 255/40. I am running 17x9.5 +15 with 275/40 and -5 camber on stock pulled guards.

Like a moth to a fire, ChargeR comes running a wheel/tyre thread.

I agree with ChargeR's comments, in that if you're still on a stock RSX suspension, something more aggressive than a 9.5 +35 is warranted to avoid hitting the inner strut, especially if you choose to use a 'bigger' tyre (and not stretch a 215 over the 9.5" rim).

I'm running 17x9.5" +24 with about -4.6 degrees of camber and it clears my stock front guards whilst running a 255/40/17 AD07.

Yeah I am still on the Type S knuckles so you recommend 17x9.5 only if it's like +30-+20 or so? I am running the J's +20mm front guards do you think I'd need to run that much negative camber up front? And yes I plan to run 255/40 on the 9.5. Thanks for all your help guys.

With a 17x9.5 +30 on the J's front guards you will probably only need 2 degrees of camber or less. What coilovers do you have? The +30 should clear most coilovers but it is hard to be sure.

Thanks for all your help ChargeR. I am running HKS Hipermax Coils.
