So I just bought the elite wheels and I have searched a lot about them and I havent found a direct answer to my question hopefully someone can answer my question here.

I have the 17x9 Elite Rims and I am riding on GAB Lowered Shocks and Struts. I am wondering from the picture you see what size tires I should run to make the wheels fit with doing the least amount of rolling and pulling of the fenders.

I already have some negative camber so I think I should be good in that area. I was thinking of running 225s in the back and 215s in the front. If I did that would I need to roll the fenders a lot or just a little bit and will the wheels fit even tho I dont have coilovers?

Those tire sizes sound like they would be good. They're a common choice for fitting wheels like that. The only thing I'm concerned about is whether you have camber adjustment or not. I know you have some natural camber from dropping it, but you'll probably need some adjustment to get it to fit well. You will need to roll your fender lips to fit it right at all, but without camber adjustment, you may need to pull your fenders.

Btw, that's a nice drop you got from you shock/strut combo there. Are they shortened shocks or springs or something?
