Default Need opinion on lowering with CE28

I recently got CE28 from a fellow member here.

Here are the specs of the rims:

18x7.5 +43
18x9.5 +40

If I lower 1" with Eibach springs, would I have to roll the fenders?

Thanks!

It will fit but you need to roll the front fenders because while it may not run when the wheel is straight when it is turned is can grab the fender. You will need at least 2.5 degrees of camber for the rear so you can run a 255. Front should be fine at 1.5 or even OEM whatever that is and a 215 or 225 is fine for the front fender.

By having 2.5 degrees of camber, do you mean negative degrees?

Yes of course negative camber.

Sorry should have qualified that statement with "possibly more"

OP, did the rear roll cup the "lip" tight against the fender or do you still have some of it poking inward? Like it's been said, you may have to end up with more camber than you'd like, or more effectively roll the rear.
