Do you keep the fender liner still even after rolling your fenders ? because i really don't want any debris getting into certain parts of the car.

When you roll the front you trim maybe an inch off the outside edge of the liner. Its not enough to worry about getting anything in there.

Can someone confirm that these will fit my S for sure ? cause I plan on picking these wheels up real soon ! I just don't wanna run into any major issues. I called Evasive today and they said that the rears should be fine but the wheel wouldn't fit the fronts.

If you do what I told you to do with your fenders you wont have any issues. Just get the fenders rolled BEFORE putting the wheels on the car.

18x9 +43 rubs with 225 width tires. This is exactly the setup I have up front on my car. Instead of adding camber, I just raised my car up a little bit so that I have about 1.5" of fender clearance and it no longer rubs. There is a bit of a "poke" look up front, but I can live with that.
Thanks bro ! helped a lot ! are your fenders rolled by any chance ? and do you happen to have any pics of your S so I can maybe get an idea of how fitment will look ? Thanks again !
Fenders are not rolled. This is what 18x8 +43 looks like with 225 width tires.

Your not running much of any camber. -1.5/-2 would make that look so much better and keep your fenders safe. As long as your runnign 0 toe up front your tire wear should be minimal still.

It depends on your ride height. For me, my fronts maxed out at -2.
