Default Fitment Question

I was wondering if Work Meister 18x9 +42 all around would fit my S, if so how much modification would need to be done to fit these. I'm lowered about 2". Fender mods ? Camber ? If anyone could help me that would be great. Thanks in advanced.

Also if anyone has any pictures with this setup that would be a great help also

18x9 +43 rubs with 225 width tires. This is exactly the setup I have up front on my car. Instead of adding camber, I just raised my car up a little bit so that I have about 1.5" of fender clearance and it no longer rubs. There is a bit of a "poke" look up front, but I can live with that.

Roll fenders and run at least 2 degrees of camber all the way around. I have 17x9 +43 in front and I have 2 degrees of camber in front and I don't rub. The rear should be fine with just the roll and tab relocation. You definately should roll your fenders even with raising the car up you still run the risk of damage if they aren't rolled.

Yeah -2 camber, roll fenders and you'll be fine. 245/40s will be good. I run 17x9+43, 255/40 in the rear.

Fenders are not rolled. This is what 18x8 +43 looks like with 225 width tires.

You are really playing with fire not rolling the fenders. Pretty easy to roll the fenders and run a little camber.
