what kind of fender work or modifications do i need to fit +5 all around?

I plan on getting some 20x9.5 / 20x10.5 +5 all around wrapped with falken 452 225/35/20 and 255/35/20

I have an 04 coupe, my rear fenders are rolled, not completely flat or anything. I was wondering will I need any more fender work or modifications to avoid any sort of rubbing with this setup? I have an spc rear camber kit btw, and my camber is dialed in at about -1.4 degrees. I am currently on tein s-techs for the g35.

i plan to be dropping my car pretty low on some stance gr+ oem coils soon. I know the lower you go the more negative camber it adds automatically. What camber settings do you guys recommend for the front and rears to safely clear without rubbing? I'm not sure if -1.4 degree in the rear is possible with my car slammed and even if it is possible I think it will definitely rub. I'm thinking maybe -2 on the rear? My front now on tein s-techs is like -2.4 already. I have no camber kit in the front. Once I slam it on the stances i'm guessing my front will go even more negative. I just want to know what good camber and toe settings for good tirewear when having your car slammed.

I want to do my homework/research before I get my wheels so that I can avoid any problems when they're on.

You are better off getting 245/35 for the rear.. With that stretch don't do 30 series u will have no sidewall.. Roll them completely flat..

why are you getting wheels and already stretching the tires if you don't have coilovers yet? you don't even know what height you are comfortable at and you are already needlessly stretching tires

get a front camber it also if you want adjustments in the front

Frankie that's my goal. Stances are backordered everywhere. I'd have em already if this wasn't the case. I already ordered my wheels so by the time that comes I should have my coilovers installed. I've seen most ppl run the 225/35/20 and 255/35/20 setup on here for the T1S's. I don't really know anyone who runs 245/35/20 on the rears beside cookiemonster. I will be tucking tires and not the rim.

I don't need any modifications done to the front fender?

eurodre, just asking questions, doesn't hurt. :P

9.5/10.5 run 225/245.. My buddy is doing 255 on 10.5 and is switching to 245 because it was rubbing.. He had to roll his fenders more.. Get 245!! Lol.. I'm waiting for stances to come in also.. Do NOT run falkens they are garbage.. Run generals or yoko s-drives.. They have really nice tread

OP, u'll be ok.

here's my settings:
20X9.5 +0 with 235/35
20X10.5 +3 with 255/35
bout -2 camber all around
350Z gf210's with rear springmount mod
shyne llp rolled flat fronts and rolled flat/slight pull rears

i only rub in the fronts on big freeway dips and going up driveways.
and it doesn't rub on the fender... it rubs on the mount where the front bumper attaches to the body. (i need to get that shaved more.)
i don't rub in rears.

just order em, put em on, and if it rubs, then dial in more camber... just make sure toe is close to spec.
a lil rub here and there won't kill ya.
