Default Getting Alignment Tommorow (Camber?)

1st off here are my specs:
17X8 +42 & 17X9.5 +50
225/45/17 & 255/40/17 Falken Azenis st615
1" Drop Eibach Springs
Stock fenders: they will be rolled front & back (bumper tab relocated also)
This is a weekend car I don't mind a little tire wear & I have Azenis

I put on my set of Work VS-XX wheels & they rub front & back. The front fit inside the fenders, but rub on the liner tabs. This will be taken care of mostly by my roll. I'm still thinking -2 camber in front as that seems like what most are running. Most of the track cars I read about have around -2 camber in front.
How does this sound?

However the back is a bit strange. My drivers side rear wheel & tire sticks out quite a bit more than the passenger side.
Anyone have any idea why?

Also the rear is rubbing quite a bit & sticks out a little to much for my taste. I need at least -2 camber in the rear to get the top of the tire inside the fender. I attached some pics.
How much camber do I need to get the top of the tread inside the fender?
How much can I get before I hurt performance?

Thanks guys,
Ed

Try searching "alignment" and or "camber"

Other than that.. the alignment shop should be able to recommend you something where you won't rub

Did you read my post? Those threads have nothing to do with what I'm asking about.

I already searched & read lots of threads & then I asked a specific question applying to my setup.

Thanks in advance guys,

Ed
