I had the same offsets with 215/45 and 245/40 and i didnt have rolled rears and i barely rubbed, now i rolled my fenders and got 255's for the rear and 15mm spacers for the front. And u dont have to roll the fronts for a +48.

yes...

i have that setup and it rubbed on big dips/bumps. ended up relocating the rear bumper tab and no more rub at all.

It also kinda depends on how soft your suspension is. I'm on eibach prokits on stock shocks (so still soft as hell). if are on a stiffer suspension setup you may not rub but it's easy enough to relocate so it makes sense to it instead of risking chewing up the tires.

^Are you planning on realigning the car? If you are running enough camber then you won't have any problem rubbing.

agreed..with that drop it rubs just a hair on large bumps. slightly throw some camber and youd be set.
