Default Will these fit?

Ok I have checked the fitment guide but I am not sure what I would have to run to get these to fit.

The wheels I want are,

17x8 +35 in front
17x9 +35 in rear

Will these fit or will the tires needed be way to narrow? I do not know much on this topic please help.

Slight tire stretch, fender pull, roll and rear tab relocate and a lot of negative camber
My recommendation- buy wheels that fit. (+50 or higher)

What wheels are +50 and around $1000? I relocated tabs, trimmed liners, and rolled my fenders and I'm ok with some stretch but idk about a ton of camber.

It can work, probably best to stick with OEM AP2 tire sizes, 215/45 and 245/40. It shouldn't need excessive negative camber, something like -2 to -3 would be fine.

^Yup. If you already have the fender work you will be fine. I think you should only need around 2 degrees of camber at the most.

Alright I think I can live with that. How much more do you think that camber setup will burn the tires down?

Enkei RP03
17x8 +48 with 225/45 or 17x8 +40 with 215/45

They are nice but they aren't anything special ya know? I love the nt03 but I can't afford that.

So to finalize things...the setup I posted will be ok as long as I stay with ap2 stock tire sizes and run a little bit of camber? I just wanna make sure before I buy them haha.

Don't do it. I have those sizes but +40 and its still to much poke. Buy wheels that fit so you can drive the hell out of the car without crunching your fenders.
