CE28n fitment question
Hey guys, just sold my 86/frs and bought an s2k so I'm still getting used to all these new offsets and sizes etc.
Did some google searches but can't really find much info on exactly what I'm after.
CE28n 17x7.5 +50 all round - front and rears with 215/45 rubber
Just wondering what fitment/fitment issues I might have by running this sizes?
Currently have about a 1" drop so curious as to any issues I might have at this, aswell as if I decide to drop another inch or go back to stock suspension for whatever reason.
From what I've gathered, the optimal sizes seem to be fronts 17x7.5+50 and rears 17x9+63.
Thanks guys

You definitely don't want to go with a 215 in the rear of this car, or it will decide to kill you suddenly lol 215/245 stagger is factory, and so that should be your min requirement. However a substantial lateral grip performance increase can be had by moving beyond these widths. A common up size is to go with 225/255 stagger and you can go far beyond that depending on your rim widths and offsets you go with, along with some degree of fender modification, such as rolling as the most basic. Your rim widths should coincide with the tire widths you plan to run on the car ie; 7-7.5/215. 8-8.5/225. 9-9.5 245 etc etc, and then from there you need to pinpoint an offset that will accommodate those to the car fender clearance, with the prospects of either fender modding or not. When you take these things in consideration in a systematic way, you are basically left with just a small handful of wheel options/styles to choose from.
The 9+63 is a good example of a wheel width and offset that will accommodate a 245 or 255 rear tire without any fender modifications. In all rights, a 7.5 +50 with 215 should be more then accommodating for the front without modification as well. Keep in mind there is an added variable of fitment up front vs rear with a wheel that turns in the fender opening so ride height and how you drive over dips/off camber drive was etc will effect the clearance margin your comfortable with. Some have had far more aggressive wheels up front with success, and some seem to not be able to figure out how not to hit everything. camber/alignment has some clearance influence as well.

Do you know if 17x7.5+50 CE28s will also accommodate BBK? I'm considering spoon or TL type S brembos
