Running 17x7 et 35 rims

Hello fitfreak! I was wondering if the fronts will poke out alot on 17x7 et35 rims :/ i'm currently running 17x7 et 48 on 205/40/17 and on t1r s-coil springs. I have rolled my rear fenders and any CONSTRUCTIVE opinions would be nice (: they are ce-28 (reps?)

Not a lot, but if you're low you'll need to do one or more of the following:

roll/pull in the front
-camber
195 tire

I ran +40 and still rubbed a little on tight turns on swift springs.

I am running 17x7.5 +40 (roughly = 17x7 +35) with 205/40 tires on Tein springs. I have pulled the front fenders a bit (but not rolled), and trimmed out a fair amount of the fender liner - the rest self clearanced. The front is very flush as I am at stock camber specs for max tire life. The rear rubbed just a hair when I had the car loaded down for vacation and went through g-outs. A tiny bit of roll in the rear would fix it.

If you are planning on running 205/45 tires, then you will need to pull and roll the front as well as trim the plastic liner a touch. Rear maybe a tiny roll.

Here is how it sits:
