Default another offset question..

Sorry guys for another offset question I searched and couldn't find a definite answer. Anyways I got some 16"x7 Konig helium's with a +40 offset. I plan on running a 205/45-16 tire and I am lowered on Tein S-techs, will I rub at all?

Apparently you didn't search that hard considering the answer is in the Wheel & tire FAQ

I can't promise you won't rub at all, but it shouldn't be a huge concern. Now it mostly depends on negative camber; if you get a camber kit and have the camber set back to factory specs, I'm fairly sure you'll rub (don't worry about the camber wearing your tires. As long as the toe is within factory specifications, tire wear won't be a concern). Also, I've heard mixed things about whether you'll have to roll your fenders or not. Some people with +40's say you do, some say you don't.

thanks man! Yeah I saw that in the FAQs but I wanted to see if anyone else was running the same set up as me. I did get an alignment, no camber kit and just the washer trick in the rear so my camber is -1.3 LF -1.0 RF -1.4 LR and -1.5RR

It should be enough negative camber, but I'm making no promises. I had ~3* of negative camber all around on my ej1, but that car was the definition of "slammed"

Like I said, you may or may not have to roll your fenders; it seems like a 50/50 split of people that had to and people that didn't from what I've seen.
