Default How Much Camber Am I Gonna Need?

My tires arrived today so I need to know how much camber I will need to not rub. I will be lowered on Espelirs and the tires are 215/45-17 and 255/40-17. They will be mounted on 17x8/9+49 TC105Ns and my fenders are not rolled. Thanks in advance.

I don't know the exact number, but even running max negative camber isn't going to get it done at your ride height. I'd guess minimum -4 in the rear. Just roll your fenders and run the alignment that is best suited to your needs.

Id guess in the ballpark of -4 as well. Those who run 245s on a 9 inch wide rim with an offset of +55 need ATLEAST -2.7 in the back. You are at least 11mm towards the fender lip compared to a 17x9 et +55 245width tire. Let us know how it goes and we need some pics please! Ive always loved the tc105s.

The fender lip roll is going to be needed with that application. In the long run the fender work is going to cost less than the camber. At -4 you are going to wear tires very quickly.
