Default Enkei RPF1 17x9 + 45 All Around

I'm planning to run Enkei RPF1 17x9 +45 all around with 225/45/17 in the fronts and 255/40/17 in the back. Tires will be Falken Azenis RT-615. My car is currently at 1 finger gap all around and all 4 fenders are rolled. How much camber should I run in the front and back so that it will clear my fenders?

people have run this setup with a lot less camber up front even with 255s. 225s will definitely not require -3. Too extra safe yes but you should be able to run -2.5 and not rub.

-1.5 in the front and -2.5 in the rear worked fine for me, but remember to relocate your rear bumper tab.

Is there a reason you are not using the same tire size all around?

It is convinent for myself because I do a tire rotation every oil change.

As for negative camber, I am running a -1.0 on the front and 2.5 on the rear. I tried to get as close to the UK specs. Also I have 245 tires all around.

Well the reason why I'm not running 255 all around is because I want to keep the staggered tire setup yet I want that aggressive look of the 17x9. They're more concave than the 17x8.
