Default Need help with wheel & tire fitment

I'm currently running 225x45 & 255x40 on my 04 with stock rims with a 1'' drop with no issues. I have -1.3 front & -2.3 rear. I'm buying new wheels, 17x8+47 & 17x9.5+60. Can I make the new wheels work with more camber? My suspension is adjustable so I can go higher if I have too or would I just need smaller tires. I don't want to do any fender work. What is my best option? Thanks

are you using the same size tires?
you should be able to get away with it for the back and for the front probably more camber will do.

you should be fine over all since you dont mind going higher.

You might have better luck avoiding rubbing going with the wider +60s all around (though 9" would be a better width for the fronts).

225/45-17 on 17x9.5 +60 up front should be less likely to rub than on 17x8 +47. Kind of a stretch though. Next time around you could go 235/40-17 fronts, though, and still be less likely to rub than 225's on +47s.

I got a deal on these rims so I have to go with what I got. The rears should be ok, its the fronts I'm concerned with. If nothing else I'll just go with a 215 up front. I just hate to mount the 225 tires and change the camber only to find out they won't work.
