Default Fitment help

Hey, I'm trying to lower my car some more on the rear and I'm also trying to fit fatter tires for the rears aswell. My goal is to have that flush look to it with no gap. My question is, how much camber and what tire size would I need to acheive that? My rears are 18x9 +45 with a 245/40 tire right now with no finger gap at all. It only rubs when I'm going fast on bumps. My rears are rolled and bumper tab relocated. Thanks!

First off you have the wrong size tire on the car. You really need to have a 245/35R18 on the rear. The 245/40R18 is almost an inch taller than stock.

so I would need a 245/35/18 in order to lower my car and make things more flush? The tires I want doesn't come in 245/35/18. I have Nitto neogens in front and want to match them in the rear.

35 series will look better and fit better on a 9 inch wheel! U need to trim the area where the tab used to be, thats why u are still rubbing.
