Default BBS RX 17x9 +28 offset all around...how do I fit?

So I just picked up a set of BBS RX wheels 17x9 with what I think is a 28 offset. the guy said 40. but I am not sure about that.

Anyways. Ido not want to have the ugly stretched tire look. I want prefrebly 235 or 245 in front and 255 or 265 rears with a 45 side wall...

Will this be tricky...what do i need to do to make the fit?

Thank you in advance!

If there are a 28mm offset they are not going to work. Even if they are a 40mm offset it is going to take a lot of work. You will need narrower tires, fender lip roll and negative camber to make it work. The 255 or 265 will not fit without pulling the fenders out.

so what would be my ideal offset goal to fit say a 265 in the rear? I have a 255 on my AP2 v1s and seems I could even go with a 265...so what is the problem with the BBS doing the same? thanks

The problem is the BBS is going to stick out 43mm compared to your stock wheel. If you want a 265 in the rear with no fender work, you need a stock offset around +65.

The problem is the offset. Those wheels are not a good fit for the car.
The only way they are going to work is to pull the fenders out.
Sorry,
