Default Fitment advice please

Hello all, I'm looking into getting a set of BBS wheels in the following specs:
18x8 et 39, 18x9 et 50

So I was wondering if these would require any negative camber to make them fit. Also I realize I may need to run some stretched tire, but I'm not sure exactly what sizes I should be looking into. All fenders are stock condition as of now but I understand I would need a roll but these sizes dont require anything too drastic right? They should fit ok without needing anything too extreme?? Thanks in advance!

Front is going to be more work than the back...can probably run a 255 in the back without a roll, but you might need to relocate the rear bumper tab if you are lowered. Front may need a roll and modification of the fender liner if you want to run a 225. What BBSs?

Actually when I bought the car I was looking into the wheel wells and noticed the previous owner had the fender liners removed. So its just fender, no liner. I'm lowered about 1 1/2 inches. The wheels I was looking at originally are BBS Super-RS. But now I just came across another set of RSs only in 17s with tires in these specs:
17x8 et35 tires 195/40
17x9 et35 tires 205/40

So now I'm having a hard time deciding which set to choose. With a 35 offset, are the 17s going to stick out of the fenders? Or will they sit pretty flush?
