Since I have to buy new wheels I figure now is the time t get wheels and tires that get the maximum rubber on the road without needed a mortgage. $700 for Euromeister 17s is a bargain.
225 ZIIs set at max camber -2.0 will rub the lip edge just a little bit (~2mm) on a hard dip so a slight roll between the 11:00 to 1:00 area would be recommended, but I prefer 0.85-0.87 front to rear tire width ratio to minimize understeer on 911s, and 205s with 955s would push too much.

As an alternative to fender rolling, you can actually pull the fender out quite a bit maybe about 1/4", which you can do by hand, or very easy with a fender roller without rolling the lip if that's what you prefer.
