Will 17x8.5 +50 with 255/40/17 work?

As the title says, will this setup work with a 1.5in. drop with -1.5 camber(stock camber)? I know that if i have -2.0 camber and up, it'll not rub. So, will it have a flushed look without rubbing?

I think it is going to rub. Most of the wheels would be in the 55mm + offset. I think you would be safer with the 245/40R17 rear.
