Default do i need to roll or relocate bumper mount tab?

ive heard of someone running 17x8 17x9 +45 version. 255/40/17 rear and 215/45/17 fronts.

i assume the front and rear fenders need to be modified as well as the bumper tab, or would this fit fine with no issues? this is on stock cr suspension. thank you for any advice or thoughts.

i really dont want to mod anything, would 17x7 +45 front and 17x8 +45 rear 255/40/17 rear and 215/45/17 fronts have any issues or need to be modded? again i dont want to flare or roll fenders or have to mess with the bumper tab, please help me out

It would be safer to roll esp if you plan on tracking it.

would 17x7 +45 front and 17x8 +45 rear 255/40/17 rear and 215/45/17 fronts need mods also?

im definately digging the 17x8 17x9 +45 version. 255/40/17 rear and 215/45/17 fronts more cuz they stick out more. i dont track so do you think i could get away with it? or was is the least i would have to do and get away with the fitment?

I figured i would just get 7.5f and 8 rear cuz i wanna slam the car eventually, when dropping car with those size rims would it clear without mods on stock suspension?

Your setup sounds a lot like what people run with the CR kais. I'm pretty sure you dont need to pull but you will need to roll the fenders. At stock height I'm not sure if your would need fender mods but I'm sure you'll need to if you drop it.

You won't need fender work at stock height esp if your alignment is Euro spec and you don't plan on tracking it.
