Default anyone running these offsets?

i was wondering if anyone of guys are running a 17 inch rim in the rear with a +45 or +48 offset, i know there are rubbing complaints but i've read other post where others ran these offsets without a problem, there was one post of somebody running black racing pro N1's in a 17x8 +38 offset in the rear, i do plan on lowering but not too much, maybe a inch or inch and quarter, im thinking espelir but i wanted to get some feedback before i purchase a set of wheels, i was thinking 17x7.5 in the front in a +45 and a 17x8 inch rim in the back with either a +45 or +48 offset and running a staggered tire setup, any comments welcomed, thanks

I'm running Gramlights, 18x8 +50 w/ Fuzion ZRi 245/40/R18s, dropped on Espelirs, with no problems at all. Rear camber is not set too aggresive either. I would imagine 17s would be no different as long as you're not running some ridiculous sidewall height... like 65 seriers or what not.

You should be okay with the +48

Stock height or lowered? If lowered, did you get an alignment afterwards?

Consider yourself lucky. People usually rub with that width and offset. Although I think I did read somewhere around here that the Toyos run narrow, which can help.
