Default 17x9 +60 w/ 255s Squared - Will it rub?

Is anyone running 17x9 +60ish with 255 rubber all around on stock CR suspension without rolling their fenders?

I picked up some Enkei PF01Rs and have 255 Star Specs on them, I'm planning on running the stock CR suspension with a really large front sway and some STR-legal camber adjusters in the front (Hardrace/J's S1). Will I have to roll my fenders at stock ride height with this setup? I'll likely be running -2 or so camber in the front but it's AutoX so I'll likely hit full lock at times and experience lots of compression.

I just don't wanna mess up my fenders but I'd prefer not to roll them unless I really have to.

Thanks!

You may need a roll, but definitely not a flare.

Why only -2 camber if you're going to run a offset ball joint in the front? I also recommend you go straight to the S2.

17x9 +60 will rub the fender tabs. Push those tabs up to clear. 17x9 +63 with ~2.7+ front camber will rub off fender tabs. That is the safest offset of them all though.

I'm currently running TR Motorsports 17x9s with 255's all around. No rubbing issues so far.

I have those exact wheels. pf01's though not a CR. im also running 255's starspecs. I rubbed when I was stock at the track and I still rub once lowered on coilovers with -2 camber. So I would def roll your fenders. Im planning on a roll soon.

+60 should not rub the rear though. It will rub the front fender tabs. Push those in and you're golden.

I just bought a set of TSW nurburgring 17x9 +63 and was planning to buy some star specs and go 255 all around; My car is completely stock. I have read that this is what a lot of auto-x guys are doing, does this mean they have all rolled the fenders?

What about 245 instead of 255?
