https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Whee...et-Calculator#

Use that calculator, on my 17x9 +25 I am not even close to touching when aired out or driving and I drive with a one finger gap in the front. You have some camber play on the strut and knuckle bolts.

Also I am running the factory 215/45 michelins and the fender sits on the tire.

well it depends on how you want ur car to look aired out. some dont mind fender resting on tires and some do. i didnt like my fender resting on my tires so i had to tinker with the camber adjustment.

@all4spl I'm currently running 18x9.5 +35 with AirLift performance series and I only rub when airing out and not at all while driving or turning. I had to leave about 2 inches of tread on the front strut in order not to rub though, also I am running -1 chamber.
