Default Volk CE28 Fitment

I do not want to roll or pull my fenders. Would i have any issues running this setup on a set of 215/40/17 and 245/40/17?

I plan on using these mostly for daily driving and occassional track use.

Thanks!

Lowered at all? It may be doable fronts are pretty low offset and wider than oem which makes me think they would need a roll even at stock height.

Yes, i am lowered on Swift springs.

What would be the best fitment CE28 with stock fenders?

That would be better. Still have to be careful with the front since you are lowered but it would work.

255 tires at +50 in back will definitely need a roll and fender tab relocate if you're lowered.

I had a similar setup except my rear was 8.5 +40. My tires were 215/45 and 245/40. My car was lowered and the fronts fit fine without rubbing. For the rear I had to do a minor roll, trim the bumper and relocate the bumper tab. I think you can get away with a 245/40 rear on your +50 and not worry about rubbing.

My exact setup with Tien springs.

I drive the bananas out of my car and I have no issues on stock, untouched fenders. The only thing that happens is the tire touches the fender liner clips and eventually they fall off, but the tires never contact the fender.

I should also note that I'm running -1.5 camber in the front and -2.5 camber in the rear. You could get away with -2.0 or -1.5 in the rear if you really wanted to as well.

Picture for reference.

Fyi it can eventually rub through the liner that it rubbed the clips out of and grab the fender.

If you're driving your car hard at the track, a roll is recommended, even on the OEM wheels.

On the OEM 17x7 +55 with 17x8.5 +65 using 225F/255R, I was rubbing my fender liners at Streets of Willow (in the bowl), ACS (on the roval), and Chuckwalla (also in the bowl). This was all with OEM suspension, and running -2.0 degrees of camber.

I've since rolled and slightly pulled my fenders - car is no longer stock. I also run -2.9 camber all around now, which is no longer relevant to this conversation.

As to your original question, that +43 up front will be troublesome.
