Default rota slip stream fitment +48 offset

Hi folks,

planning to buy rota slipstreams 17 x 8j front +48, 17 8.5 j rear +48.

tyres to be fitted are 215/45/17 F and 245/40/17R.

my suspension is fully stock, with camber of -1.5 F and -2.5R.

according to the wheel fitment guide this size is safe but says i may need a roll/tab replacement

Anyone know if i definitely need an fender roll or tab repositioning? My hope is i do not need to touch the fenders.

Most of the time u can run 15mm spacers on the oem ap2 wheels and not rub. Depends on camber! -2.5 should be more than enough.

I have those exact rims in those exact dimensions, on my stock ride height S. Even on very bumpy roads (note I am in Greece ), I've had no problems whatsoever, you do not need to touch the fenders or use spacers, or even change the camber.
