16"-7" +36 too aggressive?
I'm going to order Wedssport SA90's today, they come in 15"-7" +38 and 16"-7" +36. Would +36 be a little too much even with 4 rolled fenders? I plan on running a 205/45/ tire. I'll buy the 15's if It wont work even with the fender massaging, but I'd rather have 16's.

I have 15x7 +13 you'll be fine with a 15. but the 16 may rub more depending on the drop you have. I only (with fenders rolled almost flat) on turns where I hit bumps or go at them at an angle.
Here's a picture for reference.
FYI this was before the fender rolling.

I'm going to roll as much as i can before I even have the wheels, and will be doing coilovers at the same time. I just dont want to be stuck with wheels that wont work at all even with rolled fenders.

get a camber kit and call it a day. i had 16x7 +38 offset. really low on skunk2 coilovers. 205-45-16 tires. moderate rubbing in the front. i just dealt with it. meh. now im on 15x7 +40 rims with 195-55-15 tires. no rubbing whatsoever

Course, one would assume going to wider wheels would be to accomodate wider tires. I'll virtually guarantee the you'll get rubbing with a 16x7 wheel at 36 mm offset mounting 205/45x16 tires.. As has been said many times 42 offset if you don't drop; 45 mm if you do, on any aftermarket wheel.
Good luck.

With Skunk2 coilovers and their stiffness youll be fine. Even with untouched fenders. Youll rub a tad depending on how low you are. Go for it, get the 16's.
My fenders are rolled/pulled. Im running 16x7 +35mm. I even went a little ballsy and got 215/40/16's. No rubbing
Before my wheels were 15x7 +26mm on 195/50/15's with no rubbing. Before that I was on 15x6 +12mm with minimal rubbing.

Whats the price difference of a front kit VS a front/rear kit. Cant be that much as the washers shouldnt even add to the price. I know when I worked at Dodge/Jeep our washers were nylon. We never even used them. If the rear camber was off that bad the car was in a wreck.
From what I remember looking up part numbers on Ingall's site they offer a more extreme adjustment now. Almost 3 degrees up front? 2 camber bolts I believe?
I dont really see how thats possible, there wasnt much room for adjustment with the OEM strut/shock and the lower mount.
