Default 17x9 +35 camber?

Hey guys I want to run 17x9 +35 on all four corners with 255/40/17 rs3s(which run wide) square. How much camber will I need? What about 17x9.5 +40? Are these setups possible with functional amounts of camber and what kind of fender work am I looking at?

Not gonna be slamming my car to the ground.

Thanks!

You will need a lot of negative camber and a good fender lip roll and maybe pull as well. The 17X9 ET35 is very aggressive.

Im running 18x9-35 with a 245/35r18 tire and I have had my fenders rolled, bumper tab shaved and relocated, rear bumper trimmed and front inner fender liner trimmed. I am running -4 camber in the rear and -2.5 in the front. Hope this helps.

I was running 17x9 +35 all around with 255/40/17 tires all around
fronts had -2 degree camber while the back ha -3
front fenders were roller and rear fenders were rolled, pulled, and bumper trim removed, still rubbed on really hard corners.
if you run more camber you should be good

Thanks for the responses. I'm trying to do something like 17x9 +35 or 17x9.5 +40 square with no more than -3.5 degrees of camber.
