So I'm kinda confused. I've been test fitting my rpf1's at stock height while i wait for my coilovers to show up and I don't see how I'm gonna make a 255 fit in the rear. Yesterday I maxed out the camber bolts and the tire still sticks out past the fender like 1 to 3/4 of inch. I know lowering will help add some camber but I'm still skeptical. Its weird because I've seen plenty of guys running this setup saying all you need is to roll the rear fenders and do like 2.5 neg camber but for some reason my case seems different? Any insight would be appreciated.

does anyone have pics of this setup: 17x9 +45 with a 215/45 Front, and 17x9.5 +38 with a 245/40 Rear? On a slammed S if possible. Thanks!!!!

see the thing for me is i dont wanna do a 45 series any wider than 215 because if you have a 245/40 in the rear the front tires are going to look bigger than the rear, know what i mean? i dont want that

a 215 is going to look awful on a 9" wheel....I'm running a 215/45 on the fronts of mine and they are only 17x8 and it looks bad IMO.
