YOU are wanted for Fitment Advice!
I'm looking to tuck the tire, no fender gap at all, on my current setup and i'm not sure how much camber and/or what fender mods i should do.
So here is where you guys come in, i'm just looking for some advice if you know what would work.
Maybe you have a setup similar and could help me out by divulging your specs(:
I'm really trying to avoid rolling/pulling my fenders since I've never done it before and obviously don't want to screw up my car!
I was hoping there would be around this.. or at least avoid messing with the fronts since those seem to be prone to paint cracking.
Right now i'm at one finger gap all around running 17x9+45 on all four corners without any fender mods, with 215/45 up front and rear 225/45, with Megan track coils on all stiff, with no rubbing. Thanks in advance!

If you want to tuck tire in the front, or even get close, you'll need to roll the front fenders. If not, you'll rip them inside out when you turn. I did that with stock wheels when I first got my coilovers. The rears will be no problem. The Megan Track coils max out in the rear right at about 1/8th inch of tire tucking in the rear. I've got my fenders rolled and pulled, but it's definitely not needed with that setup. I'm running -3.5 in the rear, and -2.5 in the front camber wise. I'm running 17x9 +45 with 245/40 all around. Hope it helps.
Without rolling fenders, your already about at the limit. You should be able to get a 245/40 in back yet though depending on where your camber is currently, but your the best judge of that since you have the luxury of looking at your car and we dont. Pics? The front is always te biggest issue and I hate to see a 215 on a 9" wide rim but I'm afraid going any wider would likely cause risk to damage. But again if you had somewhere in the vicinity of -2.5 to -3 camber all the way around, 225/255 may be possible. Your right on the line at +45 with stock fenders or needing to roll. Camber is going to dictate a lot in this case.

Currently i have no camber front or back. But here is how it sits right now.
Coil-overs wont be a problem, i still can go another 4 inches lower in the front and another 2 inches lower in the back.
I would consider rolling the fenders but i don't want it to be noticeable from the outside if that makes any sense to you guys.
If you get someone that knows how to roll fenders you cant tell that they are rolled from the outside. an alternative is cutting the lip in the inside and that of course puts no pressure on the fender so theres no way you would be able to tell you cut the inner portion off.
