Wheel offset question?

I got an exceptionally good deal on some Gram Light 57Pros in 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 with a +7 offset all the way around. My coupe is lowered on Tein Stechs. They tell me its a really aggressive offset, was wondering if these will fit my coupe without rubbing? I can roll fenders in neccessary. Im running I believe its 245s front and 275s rear..

rolling your fenders and running alot of negative camber is absolutely necessary for that setup

Cant be done...

Did test fit. Front sticks out a good 1/2 inch and rear about 3/4 inch. Would be really negative camber and burn through tires at an alarming rate. I really cant afford $400 in tires every few months. Not to mention various fender problems and having to deal with rolling and pulling and rubbing.

I'll just get some other wheels.

what are your current camber settings? I don't think an insane amount of camber would be needed
