Just see how it looks with your current setup, if it sucks increase the camber so it doesn't rub...or get coils (best option)

well unless your going to be using lifted truck suspensions then your still most likely going to need to roll all around and pull the rear fender. I don't know about what type of tires your going to be using and what the stretch capabilities of them are. On my front 17x9 +17 215/45 federals up front I still need to roll my inner fender lip. On my rear 18x9.5 +12 225/40 federal I have to roll inner lip and pull fender. I run Apex Exv on S13. I think with any aftermarket ajustable suspension you would need still to roll all around and pull in the rear. Especially with the tire sizes your running. GL

The whole point of coil overs is you can change your ride height...if it rubs, raise it up.

lol if it rubs you dont raise it up. you beat on shit until it doesnt rub

just a word of advice.
i ran same setup as you and i have 225 45 17 in front. fucking GROSS. ur car is high in the front because tire is way tall. 235 40 17 ftw!
i run same sizes offset fnrc and 235 40 front 255 40 is perfect for me. u can do 245 40 rear if u want to have a lil more stretch.

Your car will look like ass with that setup unless it's really lowered. Lowering it will require rolling your fenders. I suggest higher offsets if you're too scared to go gangster.
Before asking any more questions I suggest you run the search function and look at different setups.

+45 offset if you dont want to roll your fenders...
Seriously tho, ALL 240 owners have to roll fenders, regardless. not rolling is just lame and ghey
Get smaller width tires. atleast 215 front and 235 rear.
