Default tc105n

Im looking to finally start working on customizing my S. I recently got interested in the way these tc105ns look on the S. I've seen plenty of offsets and fitments but im just looking to get a straight answer for the following. So far all I know is the following:

!7x8 +42 fronts with 17x9 +35 will clear a BBK and will only require fender work in the rears.

17x8 +32 fronts with 17x9 +35 seems more aggressive but will require fender work all around.

What I would like to know is how much work will need to be done in order to achieve both fitments. I am leaning towards the second fitment, but I am not sure if a BBK will fit in those front wheels. Also is there really any difference between the two setups? How much camber is needed in both setups? anything id need to know about the fitment of these offsets. I'd like to be well informed before making the choice between the two.

Looking to try to get as close to this setup as possible:

why wouldnt you go with the 17x9 +49 offset. Much less fender work needed

Its not that I dont want to refrain from fender work, im just looking for concave faces and +49 is just to flat faced imo. so with the two choices i know the offsets fit my taste and I was just wondering if there is much difference in the way the two setups look from each other.

I dont know how the 17x8 +32 will fit but the 17x9+35 will require a lot of fender work and camber.

If you're willing to do work in the front fenders a 17x9 +49 also clears Stoptechs. In fact a 9 +49 is 4mm less aggressive than a 8 +32.

I have 17x9 +49 and 255/40/17 Hankook R-S3s all around and it was super easy to fit. I maxed out the stock adjusters at -1.8 degrees of camber in the front and nothing rubs with only a mild roll. I like the look of the more concave faces on the TC105N but when my wheels came in and I saw them in person I thought they looked amazing with the flatter face of the +49 as well... but obviously this is highly subjective.

+2 to the two suggestions above mine. The 17x9 +49 will allow you to fit 255s, which will maximize your front grip and actually make some use out of those stoptechs. I'm assuming this is for track driving, which if that's the case, 17x9 +49s all around with 255s square would be better and faster (in the right hands of course).
