I have this setup, but I'm lowered on Tein S-Techs and have 255's on the back. I had to roll, cut the bumper tab, and run a little more negative camber on the rear to fit them w/o rubbing. That's with a 17x9 +45.

so the consensus seems to be that on a 17x8/17x9 setup running 215/245 at stock height no roll will be needed. having said that are there any adjustments to the alignment i should consider? i'm assuming that people are running a negative camber in the rear for the sake of getting it to fit and not for handling issues.

I'd run the UK spec alignment. It would give extra clearance and better handling at the expense of slightly faster tire wear.

thats what I run on my S and I love it. Tire wear is not too much faster but you can really feel the difference
