Default 17x8.5+30 (F) 17x9.5+35 (R) fitment help

Hi guys,
yet another noob question. I've been looking on the forum and getting mixed opinions as to whether or not i need to pull/flare the fenders. I'll provide as much info as i can. At the moment all my guards are fully rolled. Fronts have a very very minor pull maybe 0.5-1cm. Fender lining have been trimmed and bumper tabs have been relocated. I'm currently running 17x8/9 +40 with 225/255 tyres and -2.0 camber in front and -3.0 camber in rear. I have height adjustable coilover and lowered with about a finger gap front and rear (no scrubbing issues).

I've found a nice set of ce28's in 17x8.5 +30 (F) 17x9.5 +35 (R). I know this is fairly aggressive but I want to try and fit these without having to pull/flare the guards (I will eventually when I have enough funds). The ce28's come with 225/255 re-11's. So basically I want to know if these will fit with these tyres without having to pull the fenders. I dont mind if i have to dial in a bit more camber to fit them. I also want to try and keep the finger gap height for looks, otherwise it might just look weird.

Any advice or input would be much appreciated

Thanks

So I currently have 17x9 +43 245/40/17 fronts and 17x10 +35 rears 255/40/17. -1.9 front and -3.1 rear camber however I did flare my fenders with a roller. I think you will have more trouble fitting the fronts than the rears. You camber settings are already good. You may just need to borrow a fender roller and flare out your fenders a little more. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help and quick response. So you can flare your fenders with a roller without having to repaint the whole thing? Can a body shop do this I'm not exactly confident with doing something like this myself. Thanks again

To a point. It is risky because the paint can chip or crack but it is doable. I was able to get mine flared enough for the wheels to tuck in. I guess a shop could do it just depends on the shop.
