I hate to ask this...

Ok, I did plenty of research... but I need to ask this about offset:

Tein Flex Coilovers (~2.5" lower)
-1 deg. front camber
-2 deg. rear camber

Front: 17x8" rims 25mm offset with 225/40/17 tires
Rear: 17x9" rims 15mm offset with 245/40/17 tires

Will this work?

Rears will hit the fender lip.
Fronts will get awfully close to the fender lip too.
Coilovers have nothing to do with clearance in your case.

doesnt the degree of camber make a difference tho? since 20mm offset is the minimum for a 9" rim in the back(with 255s) on with stock camber, wont -2 deg camber and 245s allow the tire to slide underneath the fender?

Typically for performance handling you want more neg camber in the front than the rear.......

that wasnt quite the answer i was looking for, and I havnt even set up my car for anything yet. (too many problems). But I guess Ill just got with 35mm offset front and back, cuz thats the only offset besides 25mm front and 15mm rear that these rims have to offer.

Sure, if this is a race-only vehicle, running camber like that isn't a problem.
I have feeling this car will see significant street use?
Camber like that will just prematurely wear the tires unevenly.

seriously, and using camber to "tuck" the wheel in can lead to rubbing issues on the inside anyways.(ask me how I know)
