I have been running these 949 wheels since March of this year and thought I would share my experience with the fitment. I really like these wheels and hope to get my hands on another set in Beryllium.
17x10 et 52 w/ 255 tires (NT01 and Maxxis VR1 so far)
-3.0 Deg camber Front and Rear
Lower ball joints in the front
Rear Fender roll + tab relocated
Front Roll + pull
Eibach R2 16kg springs w/ eibach front sway bar.
Prior to pulling the front fenders, I tested the fitment on the front and did not rub with street driving. The fitment looked really close and I didn't want to end up damaging my fender or tire at the track, so I ended up just pulling the fenders before I took them to the track and they fit pretty easily.

Any rubbing on your control arms at full lock?

Question regarding if the bronze color has been modified slightly from the production runs back in 2012?
I see this picture in the 949 wheels thread but notice the new bronze seems to look different in the images below. Im just curious if the current bronze color is more similar to the first or second picture. Thanks!

Anyone know if I could get away without any rear fender mods with the 17x9 +55, with say a 235 tire? Car is lowered on Ohlins if it matters.

That's correct but 40 series is too short and 45 series too tall.
