What Alignment/Camber specs with 1 inch drop?
To make sure I don't rub or destroy my fenders with the following setup...
Wheels: Work Emotions XD9 42offset all around with 7.5inch in the front and 8.5inch in the rears. 215, 245. Hoping to fit 255 in the rear. Let me know if possible with out cutting or flaring anything.

Springs:
Tein High Tech Springs from Evasive. About 1" drop?

you will rub on the rear for sure if you drop (maybe not just straight street driving always, but for sure when cornering decently hard or over bumps). the offset for the rear is a bit low, and adding a 245/255 tire doesn't help. to be 100% safe maybe fender roll the rear (maybe fronts too even). as for camber, stock you can squeeze out -1.8 rears and -.8 to -1 in front if you're lucky, so do that first (i had +45 rear xd9's and it still stuck out a bit). maybe just order SPC camber ball joints for rear (or for front too) and dial in like -2.2 tp -2.5 camber for rear...front maybe like -1.5.
255 is too wide for that rim width and what you end up with is the tire rolling over more when you corner which means you'll need more camber which then means less initial contact patch and a greater tendency to spin the car. also the road noise will be higher and so will fuel consumption.
245 is the perfect width and lowering 1 inch you only need to align it to spec when your done. I have the same setup with no issue on a pro kit konis ect
