The car is approximately 190mm up front with 0* camber.

I'd rather put a 2mm spacer on the diff side axle, a customer length spacer on the other and a clamp hub to get to the right width. Messing with shims inside the wheel just doesn't suit me. Else I will narrow the front to 185 mm as I don't know if the camber adjustment will make the car illegal width. I'm not going to run it @ 0* camber.
With Pit Shimizu tires and no shims mine is measuring at 192mm up front. If it wasn't for the way the rubber overhangs the rim it would be right at 190mm.
