Default 17x9 +43

What fender work would I need to run a 17x9+43 rear with 255/45/17 lowered to about no finger gap. A roll/relocated tab? And how much camber should I run? -2 deg camber?

Roll fender and relocate bumper bolt. -2 camber is fine but it wouldn't hurt to run a little more. 255/40 is the proper tire size.
