Default 17x7.5 +45 in the front

hey guys.
i am going to be putting on my new to me wheels this weekend and i am hoping i will have no issue with the front.

they are 17x7.5 +45 with a 215/45/17. the front is like a 1 finger gap on ap1 stock wheels..

i ruined my fenders running a 16x7+32 (205/55) and do not want to snag up my new fenders.

stock camber btw.

will i be okay?

-Nick.

i cut my fender liners so that they wouldnt rub so those clips are removed. are you fenders rolled at all? i may have to raise the front a bit..

also, my car does not rub over bumps or anything.

the only issue i have is when turning into a driveway (suspension compresses on turn)

i dont mind the rubbing i just dont want to damage the new fenders im getting tomorrow.

No not rolled, sounds as though you may have to raise it a little
