Default Will a 235/ 45 17 front 255/40 17 rear fit?

Will a 235/45 17 front and 255/40 17 rear fit on a 1 inch drop and rear fenders rolled? Will I need to roll the front fenders as well? Or just go with more narrow tires? I dont want any rubbing at all and prefer the OEM camber settings.

offsets are +42 in front and +45 in rear.

I'm curious about this as well. I plan on running an 18x9 wheel in the rear with +42 and want to find out if i can run a 255 with a rolled fender and close to 2 degrees of rear camber. I'd prefer not to go more than that.

with an 18x9 +42 with a 255, you may still rub with 2 degrees of camber

I would say a fender lip roll would also be needed depending on the tires you use. Some tires are just wider than others even in the same size.
