Default non stagger question

Just wondering how much work is involved in running this setup? From what I've read so far I'll definitely need to roll the rears but still not sure what the fronts will need.
I ordered a set of wedssport tc105n's and would like to run 255/40/17 all around.
Current suspension setup is bilstein pss9's.

Here is a pic. The front fender is pulled. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/669...t__p__15361442

If the rims are the exact same dimensions as well as tires, you can always plan on needing to do more work up front to fit. If the rears need rolling, you can pretty much plan on needing to do that plus pulling up front.

All you need is just rolled fenders

Oh wow, I thought didn't think it needed that much work. Any more pics of that car?

Makes sense

I thought I was going to get away with a fender liner trim up front, roll the rear and relocate bumper tab. I don't plan on going that low anyways, most likely leave a finger gap and have camber down to -3

Still need to roll the front. The fender liner doesn't matter at all. If fact if you trim that and don't roll your fenders you are actually in more danger since the fender liner stops the tire from grabbing the fender for a little while in this scenario. If that's not there it's just tire against fender if you aren't rolled and it will do damage. Roll all the fenders and you can probably avoid any pulling if you run more camber like you are planning.

Just rolling on both ends is fine. With -3 camber it won't take a lot but you really want to roll as much as you're okay with to avoid catching the lip during spirited driving. NOTHING is more irritating than a pulled fender that has been damaged because the clearance wasn't sufficient.

Got some additional questions for the guys running the same setup or even similar
Are you running adjustable ball joints or would the stock ones be sufficient enough for my setup.
I didn't realize when I said that I'll be going with a -3 camber that the stock ball joints will max out around -2.
Going to get the alignment done as soon as the car comes out in May.
