Default 17x8 +35 front?

I have been looking at several different sets of wheels lately and I am trying to find some wheels that are not so common. I found a set of Super Advans that are

17x8+35 and 17x9+38

I am running -1 camber up front and -2 in the rear and I will be stretching the tires for the new wheels to give extra clearance. I was thinking 215/45 front and 235/40 rear. I am lowered about 30mm all around

I know I can fit teh rears with rolling but I dunno about the fronts.

SO my question is, what will I have to do to fit the fronts. I dont wanna spend the money then have to stretch the front fenders to make these fit. I am willing to roll the fenders and keep the -1 camber but I dont want to go beyond that.

They will not fit up front unless you modify your fenders... With a roll and some camber they will fit alright.

the fronts will work with about 2 camber and for the rear you can actually go with 245's with 2.5 camber
