Default 17" ce28n fitment on AP2

Hi all, I've done my search and have also seen the recommended offset information that was put up. I am wondering if anyone is using 17x8 +44 front, and 17x9 +54 rear. Tyre size preferrably is 225&255, but might go with 215&245.
Rims are CE28N.

And has anyone tried running staggered 225front 245rear?

I need feedback urgently!

Sounds like a nice semi-aggressive offset to me man. I've seen 225/245 but I like having a 255 back there the rear just feels more planted.

Yeah i think it seems like quite a good offset and width setup, but somehow it doesn't seem like anyone is using it, so I was wondering if there's anything wrong with it~~

What was the feedback of yer mate with the 225/245 setup? Was handling good with that staggered setup? I know that 225/255 would be ideal but im not too sure if the rear fenders can clear a 17x9 with 255/40/17. I do run quite a bit of negative camber though, at least ard -2degrees.

I guess the rolling would apply to using 255 tyres yeah..how about 245 on the rears with 17x9? The weird thing is that looking at the guideline from s2ki being compiled...a 17x9 with 255/40/17 would actually be fine~~

Quoted from what i found on search,

These are minimum recommended offsets. You can use a higher offset if you want, and you will get additional fender clearance.

For the front:
6.5

Just a bit more bite on the front. I'm currently running an 8/9 with +45 offset front and rear. Stock ap2 tire sizes (came with wheels) personally I feel a 215 is too narrow and 245 is okay I just prefer 255 as soon as I burn these tires i'll running 245/255. I used to run a non stagger set up and just loved the grip and turn in so I'm gonna try this tire set up before I decide on whether i'll be going back to a non stagger set up.

How was the 17x9 +45 with 245 behind? Did u need to roll yer fenders?

Front on 17x8 +45 on 215 should be no problem i reckon. 225 should be fine too...unless its 235 then it might need a fender roll...?

What size did u have on non-staggered in the past? 255 all around?

Hmmmm 245/255...wouldn't that be a lil weird? It's staggered by only a lil, like in the middle of nowhere...

255/225 would technically be proper stagger, but i'd suggest a 245/215 set up instead. They will slightly stretch and give you the clearance that you need
