Agreed...+45 wheels will require a roll if you're lowered with any decent tire size.

So I stuck with the 245s up front and 255s in the rear. I did get an aggressive roll on the rear fenders, but no roll on the front fenders. I also got an alignment with the following specs:

Front Toe: 1/8" Out
Front Camber: -1.75
Rear Toe: 3/8" In
Rear Camber: -2.25


I auto-x on Sunday and had 0 rubbing! I drove very cautiously at first, but by the end of the day I was back to be aggressive driving and placed first in STR. I love the setup for the fat aggressive tire look, but also the grip was unreal. Thanks for the help guys!

Right. Now did you just not hear any rubbing or did you actually look at the liner and tabs on the fronts? The front you won't hear until it grabs the fender and makes a loud popping noise. I would bet you are missing several of the fenders liner tabs and that it is rubbing the liner. Once that is gone it will just be a matter of time especially with how minimal your camber is. Just don't be mad when we say "I told you so".

I checked for visual signs of rubbing after each run and there are no signs at all. I'm going to get the roll at some point, but will likely wait until I'm closer to installing the coil overs. Are any of you running different alignment specs for auto x?

Ah there was the missing piece of info. I thought you were lowered. You still need to watch that area though and have it rolled before you lower it. Even at OEM height it can rub.
