Default 17x7.5 +48 and 17x8 +45

So my car is lowered around .75 inches. Or 25.75 inches from the floor to the top of the fender. I was thinking of picking up some wheels 17x7.5 +48 front and 17x8 +45 in the rear. The tire sizing looks to be 225/45 front and 245/40 rear. Will I be needing fender mods or should I just pass it up for a better set with optimal offsets?

Maybe just some negative camber with that set up. If I can help with the tires let me know.

More camber then stock? I'm at 1 degree in the front and 2 in the rear. Effectively the uk alignment.

maybe, its hard to say without test fitting your particular brand of tires. As you know, some brands run wide, some run square, some are round, etc. Once you lower it and push a little lower offset, you're going to need to run some Falkens with a round shoulder if you want "safe"

I would not run that setup...I think the 8" rear is too narrow...plus there is only the 1/2 in stagger. What wheels are they?
