Default Aggressive Fitment CE28N's

I've gone through the fitment guide and researched on here (the best I could with this horrible search function) and lastly I'd like to get others' opinions on this.

Do you think I'll need a fender roll with the following:

Front: 17x7.5 +43 with 215 tire

Rear: 17x9.0 +54 with 245 tire

I'll be lowered on PSS9's with about 1.5-2.0 finger gap all around.

Thanks and let me know if you need more info.

The CE28n comes in better offsets for the s2k.

fronts: 17/7.5+50
rears : 17/9.0+63

those offsets are to run safely cuz they're close to the OEM rims offset

he wants aggressive. . . stagger or non stagger?

OP, I think that you will need to roll fenders with the drop you have depending on the tire brand/model you run.
I'd go with the +50f +63r offsets if you want them to be sure and fit.

This whole use of the term "aggressive fitment" has been put fwd by some unscrupulous vendors to actually describe wheels that fit horribly or don't fit at all. "Safe" fitments actually fit the car for the most part. Rubbing is bad. Not rubbing is good.

Cheers,
Mike

I love these offsets. They fill out the wheel well perfect and they are more aggresive looking. The car has a much better stance that no picture can justify. If you see it in person you'll understand that the car looks way more planted than the +50F, +63R offsets. Those offsets are obviously safer, but they look too tucked away.

I'm going to be using the OEM RE050's for the next few months.

Does anyone have direct experience with this? Same width wheel/tire and these offsets? I know the Enkei RPF1's are close.

Thanks guys.

I'm in the same boat as you, I want the wheels to fill the fender and not be tucked in. I also wouldn't mind having the fenders rolled. Does anyone out there have experience with this?

Can anyone tell just by looking what offsets these wheels are?
