Default Wheel Spec fitment

Hi, I would like to run the following im running coils on very stiff settings,

Id like to run these specs and want to know if its humanily possible.

Front:17 x 9 +45 245/40 -1 deg camber
Rear:17 x 9 +35 255/40 -2.5 deg camber

My car isnt super low I can raise or lower just want to know if these wheels will be a problem, my rears guards are lipped and suspenssion is very stiff also.

lol...yes that will be a problem for sure on stock fenders in the front. Unless you're at stock height or something. The rear should be fine...but you might have to roll the fenders and relocate the bumper tab.

How low is "not that low"? And what type of driving do you do? Track? Just DD? This type of question requires a lot of specific details.

You'l need to roll the rears and relocate the bumper tabs with -2.5 deg. I rubbed running 17x9 +45 w/ 255's and that same amount of camber until i completely trimmed the bumper tab.

More negative camber in the front (at least -2) will give you more clearance and also better handling.

17x9, 255/40 up front. I had to flare my fronts to get the 255's under there and not need to run a ridiculous amount of camber. My latest numbers were -2.2 deg in the front.

I'm also dropped 1.5".
