17x8+35 - will need a roll and slight camber, probably around -1.8 to -2
17x9+38 - will definatly need a roll and heavy camber excess of -2.5

If they run smaller tire sizes, can they avoid heavy camber or at least not so much negative camber?

Those are very aggressive offsets...Personally for me, I wouldn't put anything less than +48s on the front, but I am anti-rolling.

Yes. I'd run factory sizes 215/245 for less issues.

I am looking to buy the RPF1 in 17x8+45 225 Front and 17x9+45 255 Rear.

How much fender work do I need? Will a simple Roll be enough?

Thanks

Simple roll and a bumper tab relocation and you'll be set

you can fender roll and tabs. I just did a car for a friend and he couldn't so we actually have a professional wheel place machine down the back of the wheel slightly and also mill the wheel mounting face on the rotor itself and then had them cryo treated. We gained about 5mm of extra clearance and I have been keeping an eye on both parts to ensure no cracking ect. But the wheel guy said he does them all the time and he does alot of corvette and viper track cars. You don't need to do that will the s but there are many other options too.
