So I am trying to buy these wheels, I'm currently just on H&R Springs will eventually be on coils but do you guys think ill currently be rubbing? And also will I need to do fender work when I do get coils.
 
Mikex18 is on a very similar wheel running like -3/-4 camber front/rear & rubbing a little. He's also stretching tires. You're trying to go a few mm wider. He'd be the best bet for advice.
 
i had 9.5 with +15 on my battles,on somme 204-40-17, and in the back the the Wheel itself was hitting the rear quarters!!! in front the tire was rubbing in the inner fender clips!!!

to run a offset this low you need small tires!!!

right now i have some 17x9.5 +18 i rolled my fenders, and dropped a bit more, and until now i have no more rubbing issue, in the front i have maybe 2-3 degres of camber but in the back maybe 5-6 degres

Thank you Mikex18 i really appreciate it! i'll definitely post what the before and after pictures are going to look like.
 
you're going to have to run a lot of negative camber, shave the fenders...roll them etc to get that to fit without rubbing constantly.
 
and even then... you may have issues with the tire coming into contact with the suspension components. You're more than 3/4" wider with a 225 tire versus what mike ran.
 
so i ended up getting the exact same thing as mike! 17x9.5+18
