Rubbing issue
Well I had just lowered my car more on my 17x8.5 +42 wheels in the front and i have major rubbing. Right now im just a bit lower than no wheel gap. Tire size is 215/40/17. In order to make it clear my fender should i roll my fenders or will a camber kit make it lean in more so their will be more fender clearance? thanks

First off the tires you are using are not recommended for the car. They are almost 1" shorter than stock. To make this fit you are going to need to roll the fenders and run more negative camber. The rear issue is the wheels.

:thumbdn: to running wrong tire sizes. That offset you will rub being how low you are. Either raise the car or prep the fenders. |
So I would need a camber kit to run more negtive camber correct?

No, you don't need a camber kit. There is stock adjustment that should get you plenty of negative camber, especially since you are lowered. You should get your car aligned anyway since you lowered it and completely changed the geometry.
OP, roll your fenders and run a little camber and you should probably also run wider tires, at least 225 but 235 would be good. |
Raise the car and run proper sized tires!!

^^ Sorry to be off topic but how much adjustment does stock allow? Like max -camber.
