how low
I have enkei PF01,8" +50 fronts and 9" +60 backs with S04 215\45 255\40
How low can I go without rolling fenders or relocating tabs.
Also keeping close to stock camber.
thanks

The rears are fine it is the fronts that are a concern when you lower the car. Since the wheel turns there is a risk of rubbing when the suspension is compressed. I would keep the drop modest like 1-1.5 inches and take special care going in and out of drive ways or anyplace where the wheel is turned and the suspension compresses. Basically the lower the car the more this becomes a problem.

You might need to bend your front tabs up a little, but you should be able to get 13" from hub to fender.

The tabs aren't the main problem on the fronts though they are as good indicator if there is rubbing. Usually the clips holding the fender liner are the first to rubbed away and then the liner. The little lip between the tabs is what the tire can grab and cause damage. On every one I have seen where the front fenders got damaged by the wheel it was from the tire catching that little lip which pulls it down and usually dents the fender arch and can cut into the tire as well.
