Default Advice Needed: TE37SL 15x8 +25 - Rubbing issues for EM1?

I'm looking to install the above wheels on an EM1.
I have stock braking & don't want the crazy negative cambers.
Will I have rubbing issues even if i roll the fenders a bit?

Since this is a track car, the 15x8 is a must (for me).
The offset is what's confusing me since i really like the concave look of TE's.

Any valuable input you have is appreciated.

Is the car lowered at all? You can go pretty low on an em1 with 15in TE37s(My favorite wheels btw so i've done a BUNCH of research and measuring with them). At WORST you would have to fender roll a bit but i highly doubt it and most shops will fender roll for really cheap. Plus it's nicer looking IMO

The car is lowered on skunk2 coilovers at the moment.
Im waiting on the arrival of my new set of coilovers so I'll need to re-do the lowering again. I'm not looking to have the car slammed. Just enough to look good & serve its function for track use.I don't see myself going beyond a 2.5" drop.

My concern was the offset. Do you foresee any issues with 15x 8 +25

Like i said, i HIGHLY doubt it will rub. Dude if anything just lower the car to fit the wheel. Just get rid of Wheel gap you don't need to go any lower than that. Make sure when you lower the car, let say you do the right coils first TURN THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT to make sure it clears when the wheel is turned left and right then lower the left coils to the same spec. i have seen so many people not do this it's not even funny how ridiculous some people are lmfao

You will more than likely have to roll those fenders.
I run 225/45/15 on my EG and it had to be rolled for my 15x7 wheels.

i have the same setup on my EK, TE37SL and same size. running 225/45 R888. front i have between 2-2.5 degrees of camber and the rear i had to roll and have about the same amount of camber as the front. cant be too low either. finger to about a finger and a half should be good.
