Default Will 17x8 +45 and 17x9 +42 work?

Will a setup with 17x8 +45 offset and 17x9 +42 offset work with rear fenders rolled and car lowered about 1 inch on Tein S Techs? The tires on the front are 235/45-17 and the rear is 255/40-17. Please let me know on if I need to do anything else other than what I mentioned, or if im golden? Thanks guys!

What are your camber angles? I was running an oem alignment on S Techs and the rear would rub on the rear bumper tab on hard bumps. Also, the front tire grabbed my fender tab on a really steep driveway. This is with 17x8 +45 front and 17x9+45 rear, w/ 225 and 255's respectively.

If you dial in more negative camber you should be fine.

I think you'll be fine w/ skinnier tires w/ oem camber.
