Default Fitment on Enkei RPF1 16x8 +38

I bought some Konig Wideopens 15x8 +20 on my ek hatch and had some decent camber on them. After only few months the thread on them had disappeared(what was I expecting) and now I‘m selling them to get some rpf1‘s 16x8 +38.
I‘m wondering if they will fit on the car without putting alot of camber on them, while basically lowering the car as much as possible? And maybe put some 5-10mm spacers on the back.
I want to go more with the function while keeping a nice stance on them, without much chamber.
My rear fenders are rolled but not the front.


This is from a sale thread I saw on another thread that really got me excited for the 16x8 rpf1‘s.
Can any of you see if the front fenders have been modified? I hardly see any camber on the front wheels, but on another setups i‘ve seen while searching, the front wheels seem to poke out a little on the ek.
I just want to be sure what i‘m buying right this time.

I can get some more. But don't know how we're supposed to answer your question when you never said what tire you're going to run on these. All those threads you already saw also mentioned tire size.

the reason your tires wore out is probably because you have to much toe out. get the car aligned again at the ride height you want and have the toe set correctly. you wont have problems with tire wear after that.

<---- has -3 degrees camber in the rear of my car, no tire wear problems.
