Default 18x9 +42 will this wheel fit?

Hey guys,

I'm looking at some input into whether or not this wheel will fit. The rears are 18x9 with a +42mm offset. I will be lowering my car on Eibach pro kits 1"/1". Considering the factory camber of -1.5 in the rear and rolling the rear fenders, would I be able to use a 245 or 255 rear tire?

If not, How much camber do you think I would have to run to prevent rubbing?

I also understand that some tires are narrower than others. Do you guys have any suggestions for a narrow tire to run so.

My goal is to extend the life of the tire since this is my daily driver.

yes it will work. 245 would be safer if you dont roll and do about 2-2.5 camber

Like Sinji said rolling the fender, more negative camber and a narrow tire and they fit. If I can help with the tires let me know.

Sinji - so you're saying that i could do 245's if i don't roll the fender. if i roll the fender, could i do 255 safely with those camber specs you suggested? also, if i stick with 245's, and roll the fenders, would i be able to dial in less than the suggested 2 - 2.5 degrees of camber? i would prefer not to run more than 2 degrees of camber in the read.

jim - yes, i need suggestions for tires since i have not purchased them yet. wheels are 18x8 and 18x9 and i'd like to run a 225 front and 245 or 255 in the rear. thanks.

at first i didn't think i'd have a problem with the front but now i might. i'm looking to run an 18x8 with a +40, 225 tire, 1" lowering, and a preferred stock camber of .5 degrees.
