Default Blitz 01 and Blitz CX whats the difference?

Whats the difference between these two wheels? They both look the same. Also would you go with a 17x7.5 +35 17x8 +35 combo or 17x8 +45 17x9 +45 combo which would fit best on a 1 inch drop?

CX's are much much more rare and the spokes are longer than the regular ones

This is the better combo:

17x8 +45
17x9 +45

Otherwise you'll have a smaller contact patch on your rears with an 8in width wheel where oem is 8 1/2.

im running 17x7.5 +51 up front and 17x8 +51 in the rear. 215's up front and 245 in the rear. same as oem ap2 size tires. 8 vs 8.5 doesnt matter if you run the correct size tires.

^^ You are right, but does the tire bubble over? I guess this is my personal opinion to either stay the same size as oem or go a bit bigger for safety and personal preference.
