Default 17x9+35 front + 17x9+25 rear?????????????????????

Hey all,
My is300 is lowered 1.4 front and 1.3 rear. I'm wondering if this wheel fitment is a good idea and will provide a flush fit without having to camber.
Thanks!!!

you'll need to stretch tire, roll and pull front fenders, and add camber. Im not sure what you personally consider "flush" but here's some reference if you're planning to be low

So even with a +35 9" wide I would have to pull fenders? My fenders are already rolled but I would like to stay away from pulling lol

Just don't lower your car as much as I did, cause the difference between +30 and +35 is 5mm extra clearance from what I have. You'll need to rock some negative camber either way.
