The front will be almost 17mm closer to the fender than before
The rear will be 7mm closer to the fender than before

You have to look at how your car sits and decide what "flush" means to you. On stock m-sport suspension you might be OK without any changes, but seeing as the tires are taller front and rear if you have worn/tired shocks you might experience a light rub somewhere under big compressions/dips.

I am running stock rims and tire sizes (215/40/18 on 7.5 ET49 and 245/35/18 on 8.5 ET52), lowered about 10mm from M-sport on a Bilstein B12 kit, and Dinan fixed camber plates and M-arms up front. Camber at the front is -2.2 and rear about -1.7.

I have 12mm spacers at the front, and 10mm spacers at the rear (making my wheel offsets effectively ET37 front, and ET42 rear). This is what my car looks like:

With the APEX listed sizes, the front will be about 5mm closer to the fender, and the rear will be about 3mm farther away from the fender. Remember your front is running a wider tire as well compared to mine so it will not only be closer to the fender but also beefier in general.

Ah this really helps. Your car is beautiful btw.
Would be happy if mine turned out similar to yours. With your advice about how the front tires may look beefier im good with that.
3mm rears further way from the fenders I wonder if I'll even notice the difference.

Now I just need to wait until apex refills their stock so I can order!
