Default 17x8+45 front and 17x9+42 rear rub?

Would it be hard to run 17x8+45 with a 215/45/17 tire up front and 17x9+42 with a 245/40/17 tire in the rear without rubbing while being lowered. I'm lowered quite a bit and have only mildly rolled the front and rear fenders and relocated the rear bumper tabs while also running a uk spec alignment. I'm wondering if this would be enough to make them fit. If anyone is running these specs please help, thanks in advance.

Given your info, you should sit good, no problem. At the most you may need to dial in a little more negative camber up front.

I have 17x9 +47 (255 tire) in the back with 3* camber and a mild roll/tab relocated. No rubbing.

Back before I widened my rear wheels, I ran 245 on a 9.5 +38 -3 camber lowered with a half finger gap fyi. No rubbing with cut fender and tab relocate. I had room for a 255 I discovered, but changed wheel widths before I got the chance to mount one.

camber is actually -1.5 in the front and -2.5 in the rear, so would that be enough, and with this setup would the tires be tucked?
