NEEDS INPUT ON VOLK SIZE - PLEASE INFORM ME
 
made the call and decided to order volks. model ce28 in rt red colored. my question to you wheel gurus is this:
only size available in high rear offset is 17x9x60 which is within spec and good as far as directed in the "wheel
fitment" sub-forum.. but in regards to the front the only other size offset available is 17x9x44. i want to run
17" rims and would like to maintain the oem stagger but volk has limited sizing in the color i want with offset
i need. i will not pull or modify fenders, will not stretch tires, will not run butterfly camber. with all that said, i
never track the car - i have a car for that but its not my s! the car has oem shock and springs currently. i
dont plan on tracking the car. im no pro togue drifter, i enjoy spirited driving but dont beat on her or "take
it to the apex limit" i have read about understeer issues increased and value your opinions. should i cancel my
order?

Run 9" +60 all around. You can stagger the tire size (225/45, 255/40) or run the same size all around, usually either 245/40 or 255/40.

having 17x9 front and rear with different offsets is not keeping the oem stagger

thanks i was thinkin if i ran a 7 1/2" tire up front and a 9 in the rear i would be ok. bmx - please tell me more. im internet educated and hungry for info! bump if viewed please.looking to correctly order the right rims asap. hurry and wait

17x7.5 +50 and 17x9 +63 would be the closest. But like you said, I am not sure the ce28rt is available in that size.

i could run a 44 offset in front but theyd still be a 9" rim.. should i do that instead

No you should not run a 17x9 +60 for the rear and 17x9 +44 in the front. That makes zero sense. Now if you ran a 17x9 +60 rear and a 17x7.5 +44 front it would be much better. As others said run 17x9 +60 all around and be done with it.

17x7.5 isn't available according to the website. Your best bet is 17x9 +44 rear and 17x9 +60 front. If you lower the car and do not want to roll your fenders go with 245/40/17 all around. You really should do your research before placing an order on wheels.

I just read 1nate7's response and agree with him as well. Except with the +60 it'll look sunk in the rear and flush in the front. And FYI to my previous post a 245/40 will be slightly stretched on a 9" wide wheel.
