Default 17x8 +25?

On a 225/45 tire, will i need to mess with the camber on the rear to run such a low offset?

I know I will need to roll the fender lips, but I dont want to mess with the camber. Also the rear is very low, like 0 finger gap especially when im sitting in it


Im within stock camber specs and want to keep it that way :\

I'm not sure with that specific offset, but I have 17x7.5 +33front and +28rear. Rolled fenders and 1.5degree camber all around, only rubbing in rear with 4 people total in car. I have have 225/45 tires also.

My guess is you'll rub unless you have at least 2degree camber because a 8" width with 25 offset you'll be more aggressive than my setup.

i kind of figured, cause right now I can barely put my finger between the tire and the fender lip. And I have a verrry slight tire stretch.

Pushed out 10mm, even with rolled fenders, i am thinking i am going to be rubbing sidewall constantly on the metal. Sigh

ugg i dont want to run any camber, im already barely within stock specs and want to keep it that way for safety reasons. I ride with people in my car alot more often now so i got other people to worry about.

thanks for the help guys, looks like ill be going with 5mm spacers instead, and just roll if i need to. i just wanted a more noticable before/after, lol
