17x9.0 +54 will prevent most scrubbing, but it's still going to scrub on the rear if you are lowered a bit.
I have 17x9 +45 all round, 235/40 on the front and 255/40 on the rear. Front guards were getting demolished even with a roll, so had to diy modify them a bit more!
Although, I am running PSS9's which are very soft.

These wheels only come in 17x9+60 or 17x9+48.
Obviously the +60 is much more S2K friendly and the +48 would destroy my fenders.
A guy who went from a +45 to +60 on 17x9's on s2ki swears that his car handled a lot better with the +60 offset.
While +48 would look better with more camber, I'm more concerned about performance than I am about looks. Having said that, being lowered and 9 inch wide tyres bring good looks as a bonus
Also, another guy on s2ki is running the same wheels and is sitting a little lower than I plan on going and he says he only rubs a tiny bit on the guard liner when he's on full lock.
a wider footprint would also have positive effects on handling and balance, though I'm surprised that guy could tell a difference. It's not something your everyday person would notice, could also be he tried difference rims/tyres?
Even with a +60 offset you would still want to run the same if not a similar camber settings to the +45.

He was doing Auto X on both setups I think. i'm surprised he noticed the differance too.
Yeah, I'm thinking -2.5 all around. Should be a nice mix between straight line balance and good handling + reduced oversteer.
I hope I can achieve the required camber with the standard camber kit.
standard camber can go beyond -2.5 so nothing for you to worry about.
If you don't want oversteer then I would not recommend a non staggered setup as it's oversteer bias.

Good to know the camber won't be an issue.
Oh, I know non staggered oversteers more, but from everything I've read it's better for overall handling.
I don't mind the oversteer being there, but it can't hurt to reduce it.
