wheel and tire help

Hi guys,

I got 17x7.5 (back) and 17x8 (front) volk CE28Ns for my car. Its 43 offset. I thought gen5s have 45 offset stock but i just found out that its actually 50.
So will these fit?

If so, what tires do you guys suggest? i
'm thinking 245/45 for the frong and 225/45 for the back wheels...

thanks in advance.

this is what they look like... just doesnt have that much of a dish.

might rub. test fit first.

wait you cant test fit, you already have them. get the jack out of the boot and spend 10 minutes checking if it rubs or not.

how much of an offset from 50 can you get that'll fit? is there a universal rule of some sort? like +3 or -3? something like that.

It'll fit fine. But the 245 tire might be a little too big, and its the tire that'll rub rather than the wheel. I think that you shouldn't go past a 235 size tire and you'll be fine.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

Hmm... well, his offset is +45mm... so yeah, I guess maybe it'd fit fine considering yours is +43. I'd still stay with 235 to be safe, but its totally your call, bro.
