Default serious wheel issue

Hi guys i think i have a prob here...

well i got meself a set of RPF1 17x9 +45 rims and installed a set of ADVAN A050 on it with 255/40 and when i put on the wheels while my car is on a hoist and it looked like my car had 4wd wheels on or something...
well i did read some others post the same issue but my prob is i had semi's and the tyre seems to be a bit more wider than normal street tyre so i'm not sure after i lower my car and put -3 camber on it would the wheels stay inside the fender or still it would stick out?
i had roll fenders already as i know it gonna rub like hell...just wanna know how can i keep those wheels inside those fender's...?
do i need to pull out the fender as well to keep them inside?

thxs guys

You running same size all around? If so, you might need a flare in front. Don't judge the fitment in the air, they will camber in when the suspension is compressed.

Ya...I put 235s up front and they still stick out and rub. Gonna have to flare the fender or just go ahead and get wider fenders. Not sure what options you have in UK.

once you get it on the ground youll be fine
you wont even need -3 camber in the rear, they will fit with less
youre good to go

hi guys me again..
finally got my car lowed and around 1.5 finger from fender..and my mech took my car to a well known wheel alignment work shop and came back with a camber of -3 front and -2 rear...and as soon as as hear this i am kinda worried...wether this is the right set up or not cos i read lots of post and about 99.9% of ppl use a bigger camber down the back..so my question is the alignment is right set up or not...????
as i will be bringing the car to track ...
and i'm using spoon full spec damper current model..and ADVAN A050 tyre

More front camber than rear is actually the norm for optimized rwd track cars. From the factory, cars usually have more rear camber than front to be on the understeery side.

That said, the factory '00 suspension's roll stiffness is a little biased to the rear, so you might consider running a stiffer front bar...
